PLS ADVISE REGARDING MERGING LEADS Posted: 16 Nov 2005 02:21 PM PST John, I suspect Elizabath has c360 SearchPac - we also have this and it has a tool named "Multi Field Search" and also a tool for merging records. But you still dont get an "unmerge" tool as it deletes the one of the records when the merge is done! Ian "John O'Donnell" <com-nospam> wrote in message news:Opf$phx.gbl... in |

Emailing Routing in Mixed Environment Posted: 16 Nov 2005 06:16 AM PST I'm confused about your setup. Are you saying your users have 2 mailboxes? If so, that is your real problem (that and the fact that Exchange 5.5 is unsupported with the app). Thos users whould only have a mailbox on the 2003 server and it should work. -- Matt Parks MVP - Microsoft CRM "geoffm33" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... We are setting up CRM 1.2 in a mixed NT4 (Exchange 5.5) and AD (Exchange 2003) environment. I need a little help setting up the email routing. I set it up according to scenario 2 (page 72 of the Implementation Guide) which involves a separate subdomain for the CRM Exchange server. Here is the behavior as indicated on page 75: In each of these scenarios, Microsoft CRM users and queues send messages from the Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003 server by using the Microsoft CRM subdomain (adventure-works.com). Replies to these messages are handled in one of two ways: * If the reply message is to a Microsoft CRM user, the message is forwarded to the Exchange 5.5 organization and appears in the Microsoft CRM user's Exchange 5.5 mailbox. Because the Microsoft CRM user is not an Active Directory user, no Microsoft CRM e-mail activity event will be created on the Microsoft CRM server by the Router. * If the reply message is to a Microsoft CRM queue, the message is accepted by Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003 and delivered to the mailbox of the Microsoft CRM queue on Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003. An e-mail event is posted to the Microsoft CRM server by the Router. Is there any way to have the best of both worlds and allow replies to users appear as email events and also route back to the Exchange 5.5 server? What we don't want is to have the CRM users be forced to check two mailboxes: their primary Exch 5.5 and the new Exch 2003. If not, is it common practice to set up all users as queues in this type of coexistence setup? Thanks in advance!! |

1.2 & 3.0 on partitioned system? Posted: 15 Nov 2005 01:36 PM PST The 2 versions share some common regisstry keys, so you cannot have both app servers unning on the same IIS machine. You could leverage the same SQL machine though as 3.0 allows you to provide your own Org Name so the DB's would not conflict. However, I would be careful if this is a long-term solution as that would most certainly violate your EULA and would ultimately cause a whole boatload of issues with your users who don't know which one they entered their data in. -- Matt Parks MVP - Microsoft CRM <com> wrote in message news:googlegroups.com...

CRM Queue's Posted: 14 Nov 2005 11:42 AM PST The problem is that the router intercepts the SMTP traffic at the gateway, not at the messagebox. So, it is looking at it prior to the alias being resolved to point to the common mailbox. When it looks at the messages sent to the alias, the email address isn't recognized so it is ignored. This will change in v3.0 as in that version, the processing is done at the mailbox. -- Matt Parks MVP - Microsoft CRM "SkidooMXZ" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com...
