Re-installing CRM 4.0 RRS feed

  • Question

  • We have completed CRM 4.0 project for customer. Also performed a lot of customization , Data import from thier old data base, installing CRM connecrcor , Installing Navision and intergrating CRM and Navision using the CRM connector.

    Because of a liceces issue and big misunderstanding (don't ask what the issue is) any ways we have to redo the whole thing again. Re-install CRM , CRM connector ..., since we have lots of customization , data and also the CRM connector related with the GUID ... we want to restore back the database as it was with affecting anything. how would you recommend I do it ?

    I read somewhere to re-install CRM with dummy organization name and then use the Deployment manager to import the previous organization database with the real name. but this is going to create 2 organization in the database .... also in the MSCRM_CONFIG the tables are going to have a record for both entry ... our customers ask toooooo many question , they are going to think that it is a messy job ...

    Please give me any suggestion you may have or any link ...

    Thanks a lot

  • The general approach is as you state: to re-install CRM with dummy organization name and then use the Deployment manager to import the previous organization database with the real name. You can then delete the dummy organisation to tidy things up
