Action Microsoft.Crm.Setup.Server.GrantConfigDBDatabaseAccessAction failed. Windows NT user or group ” not found. Check the name again.


Hi,

I was facing this issue while installing CRM 4.0.

It was saying that ‘domain\NRANA-VN$’ not found. So i tried creating a new login with the same name for which i was getting the error. But it was not allowing me to create a new login saying ‘ Security Principal already exists’. Than i just tried renaming an existing account ‘domain\SM-VN$’ to’domain\NRANA-VN$’ and it worked fine. The error was resolved.

Error : instance name must be same as computer name while installing CRM 4.0


Hi i was recieving this error while installting crm 4.0.

This is how i resolved it

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143799.aspx

Running the following command was giving the name as ‘DASDS’

SELECT @@SERVERNAME AS ‘Server Name’

where as the name of the sql server was ‘NRANA’

So ran the following command
sp_dropserver ‘DASDS’
GO
sp_addserver ‘NRANA’, local
GO

followed by

SQL Server service restart.

After this SELECT @@SERVERNAME AS ‘Server Name’ gave me the new name.

I mentioned the same name during the installation of CRM 4.0 and the error was resolved.

Dynamic Values in Workflow in CRM 4


We were facing an issue today; the issue was something like this

We were sending mail in one of our workflow, in the to field of the workflow we had set multiple users name as dynamic values. But we found that mail was being sent to only one user, i.e. the first user only.

Than we found out that if we add multiple values in Look For dialog box and click on ok to add all those together, only the first field having value would be picked by workflow.

For e.g. if I add (created by), (manager of the user field) in the look for dialog box and click on ok to add them together, the workflow would only pick the value for first field i.e. (created by) field for which value exists. It would ignore the manager of the user field. 

However if we add them separately i.e. first add (created by) field and then look for (manager of the user field) and add that field than we could have values for both the field.

Read Only Tab in CRM


Hi,

This is something i tried for setting all the fields within a tab as read only or disabled !

// get the div element corresponding to tab, first tab would have index Tab0, second as Tab1 and so on ..

var el=document.getElementById(‘Tab2’);

// create a recursive function

function toggleDisabled(el) {

try {

el.disabled = el.disabled ? false : true;

}

catch(E){}

if (el.childNodes && el.childNodes.length > 0) {

for (var x = 0; x < el.childNodes.length; x++) {

toggleDisabled(el.childNodes[x]);

}

}

}

// call the function

toggleDisabled(el);

To hide and setting a parituclar tab as default
