Microsoft.Crm.CrmException: GetAssemblyMetadata: expected mdtAssemblyRef or mdtAssembly while registering plugin assembly in Dynamics 365


While registering a plugin assembly through plugin registration tool we got the below error

The reason being we were using MSBuild.ILMerge.Task Nuget package and there were few assemblies being referenced in the plugin project that had copy local set as true.

So eventually the single plugin assembly that was getting build had these assemblies also being merged in it, which led to the above error.

Setting Copy Local as False for those assemblies fixed the issue.

Hope it helps.

Insufficient Security – You do not have the security priviges necessary to perform this task error while using Merge in Dynamics 365


Hi,

Recently one of our users got the below error while trying to merge Lead record.

The user was having the Merge rights. However, the user was missing Share rights on the Lead entity. He already had create, write, delete, append and append to rights.

Giving Share rights fixed the issue.

Hope it helps..

Server Is Busy. The record was saved. However, the data could not be displayed because the server is busy error in Dynamics 365.


Recently one of our users got the below error

The error message is bit incorrect here. The error was because the user had User Level Read Access to the record or (Entity to be specific) and on saving the record, we had one of our real-time workflow being triggered which was assigning this record to another user. And on assignment, the record being getting assigned to another user, the user who had created\saved the record was losing the access to it.

Hope it helps..

Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: ‘https://orgname.crm8.dynamics.com/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc?wsdl&sdkversion=9’ error in Dynamics 365


We would run into this issue while trying to connect to Dynamics 365 Version 9.0 from a client application.

It is because Customer Engagement Platform (version 9.0) only supports TLS 1.2.

More details here

https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/crm/2017/09/28/updates-coming-to-dynamics-365-customer-engagement-connection-security/

How we can fix it à

We need to add the following line of code to our existing code


public static OrganizationServiceProxy GetOrganizationServiceProxy()
{
ClientCredentials clientCredentials = new ClientCredentials();

clientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "username";
clientCredentials.UserName.Password = "password";

// Set security protocol to TLS 1.2 for version 9.0 of Customer Engagement Platform
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;

return new OrganizationServiceProxy(new Uri("https://orgname.crm.dynamics.com/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc"),
null, clientCredentials, null);
}

Service Unavailable – HTTP Error 503 error while trying to login to Dynamics 365 Online.


While trying to login into Dynamics 365 Online, we got the below issue

It could be some issue related to ADFS (http://himbap.com/blog/?p=2165). Until it is corrected, the only solution is to wait for some time for the service to be up and running.

It was close to 90 minutes for us.

Hope it helps..
