    This is a clean Dynamics 4.0 organization that I was moving to another server but, the import fails with the following error. How can I resolve this error?

    Beaut. I was having the same issue, it was throwing an exception on something called "GetAttributeMetadata".

     

    Once I did the re-installation without updating during the installation, it started to work. Interesting.

    I am also experiencing this issue today.  In this case, I am simply trying to re-import an Organization after a re-install of the CRM server software.

    1. Organization A was functioning normally, and has been for the past 6 months on this server.
    2. Just this morning, the CRM Server was uninstalled and re-installed on the server.
    3. In Deployment Manager, I went to import Organization A and it fails with the above message.
    4. Opened the MetadataSchema.Entity table and verified the existance of the entity the error is referencing.

    Pretty much at a loss of how to proceed.  We've got to get this customer DB back up and running.

    Hi,

     

    I was experiencing the same issue and the following steps resolved it.

     

    1. Uninstall CRM
    2. Reinstall but do not update setup files during setup
    3. Import Organization using Deployment Manager. Should work now

    Enda

    Yes, you're right!

    There is something in the updated installation files that prevents older organizations from being imported.

    Don't know how that one slipped through QA.

    Same problem here, but reinstalling a live environment is a definite no no.

    There is no fix yet?

    ditto to Keith.  We are migrating to Server '08/SQL '08 and receive the above error message.  Any ETA on a fix for this?
