Rajeev Pentyala – Microsoft Power Platform

I recently started working on migration project CRM 2011 to 2015.

In this article I am going to focus various issues I encountered during Organization configuration on  Outlook client.

Issues faced with installation

First to go with, I had issues while installing the software. Below are logs from event viewer and logs.

• Error from installation log: Installation of Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Outlook failed. Exit code: 1603. Result: Fatal error during installation
• Error from Event Viewer: Product: Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 for Microsoft Office Outlook — Error 1309. Error reading from file: ..\PFiles\MSCRM\Client\res\web\_static\_forms\accessprivilegebehavior.js. System error 3.  Verify that the file exists and that you can access it.

Fix :

• We should clear failed installation components from the system before we proceed with installation, which include Registry Entries and installed software’s from ‘Control Panel’ (Refer answer from this post)
• Regarding missing “\_forms\accessprivilegebehavior.js” file error, I had to re-download the CRM 2015 Outlook Client from here 
• Make sure you download correct version (X64 or X36) based on your machine OS version.

Issues faced while configuring organization

Data Encryption feature not activated

• I got below error with message “There are encrypted fields in the organization database, but the data encryption feature isn’t activated. Contact your Microsoft Dynamics CRM system administrator to activate data encryption. To activate, go to System Settings > Data Management > Data Encryption”

Data Encryption Feature Not Activated

Reason

• As mine was upgraded project, when we restore/import a database, data encryption is disabled by default, even if it was enabled in the system we took a backup from.

• This is because the encryption settings are stored in the Configuration database, so the .bak file does not contain these settings

Fix

• As error message suggests we need to activate data encryption in CRM application “System Settings > Data Management > Data Encryption”
• But when I opened I got another error ‘Enable the HTTPS protocol and try again’.

HTTPS protocol is required

• But I cannot enable HTTPS immediately so the workaround is set ‘DisableSSLCheckForEncryption’ to True (1) in CRM

Query – Disable SSL Check

 UPDATE DeploymentProperties
SET BitColumn = 1
WHERE
ColumnName = ‘DisableSSLCheckForEncryption’

• After setting “DisableSSLCheckForEncryption” to 1 using query, come back to ‘Data Encryption’ window and provide any 10 digit key as ‘Encryption Key’ and click ‘Activate’

Provide Encryption Key and Activate

• Note : If current user is not part of ‘PrivUserGroup’ we would get below error. Make sure you add the User to ‘PrivUserGroup’ in Active Directory.

Error if User not part of ‘PrivUserGroup’

SQL Timeout Error while setting up Organization

• Since mine was upgraded project which is huge is in size I got SQL time out error while configuring organization using ‘Configuration Wizard’

Fix

• Add ‘OLEDBTimeout’ REG Key on ‘SQL Server’. (MSDN KB Article)

Set OLEDBTimeout Reg Key
