Jack,

Here's a very detailed post from Christian the IE8 pm that should answer your questions

What about CRM 3.0

Lee Meyrick — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 14:58:36 GMT

Has MS Dynamics CRM 3.0 been validated with IE8?

Lee, while a majority of our IE8 appcompat testing was done with CRM v4, we did do some testing with v3. I just checked our database and we have no open issues with v3 & IE8. If you happen to come across an issue, please contact Support and we'll investigate.

It is worth mentioning that the IE8 team did a great job of fixing CRM issues on their end as we went through the beta testing. We had to make very few changes in CRM.

The only flaw in IE8-CRM4 is the dynamic values in workflows are not working if you create them with IE8. It removes formatting from the “yellow” blocks. So the don’t work anymore.

Ever since upgrading to IE8, I've noticed that if I click on the "Actions" menu, then click "Add activity", the sub-menu appears behind the "Actions" menu and therefore you can't read the menu items. Anyone else seen this?

if you don't run in tabs(the way it works be default) new windows pop-up with a window title that is in the form:

FULL URL - Window Title

when they used to display just the window title.

this makes it nearly impossible to differentiate which window you are looking at in the taskbar. which I'm getting complaints about.

is there any way to make it display the window title like it used to do?

Three of my users have installed IE8 and they have had to uninstall due to issues with CRM 4. While the product works fine by itself we use iframes in our contacts that get information from our reporting server- and now these three users are getting prompted continuously to login. I've been through quite a few of the security settings and they look right. The only way I have been able to fix this is to have them uninstall IE8. I'll probably figure out what the problem is- but I thought others should know there could be issues.

IE8 is not compatible with 4.0. After upgrading I am unable to do mail merges from the Application made. I get this error "An error has occurred in Microsoft Dynamics CRM Mail Merge" The only thing that has changed is IE*. When I unistall IE8 it works again.

If I do the merge through outlook it works fine.

I can not find a solution to this anyhere. So far it happens to 8 out of the 10 workstation I have tried it on. All running Windows Vista Business and Office 2007.

Anyone have a clue to what is wrong?

Whilst I'd agree that IE8 offers a number of improvements, alas I haven't found that CRM 4.0 interaction is one of them. Installing IE8 has prevented my ability to use the "View Regarding" function in the CRM Outlook client except if Protected mode is switched OFF for the INTERNET zone, regardless of the fact that CRM is listed as a trusted site. I've encountered a number of people experiencing this problem but yet to find a solution.

Adrian,

Re your question about the menus appearing behind the other menu--I think this may be a font size issue. If you have a scroll wheel mouse and click and scroll, it can make the font size bigger, and this makes menus look weird.

Re your questions about popup errors--see this post from MVP Julie Yack http://blogs.msdn.com/crm/archive/2009/05/07/microsoft-dynamics-crm-and-ie8-tweak.aspx

There appears to be an issue w/ IE8 and SP2 that can cause this to pop up. Following her suggestions re: protected mode can fix these issues.

I have also found that running toolbars, like windows live/bing/yahoo/Gooogle can interfere with CRM. I recommend running IE (ANY version) with as few plugins as possible.

I also note sub-menus for Activities rendering behind the main menu. (in IE8)

Joel, I am having the same issue as Mike Johnson. I followed Julie Yack's suggestions already and it does not work. Running Vista, UR5, with protected modes enabled continuously get prompts for credentials. If I take off protected mode, it will give me pop-up errors. I reset IE and disabled any third part browser add-ons. Completely turned off pop-up blocker and still have the issue. I also followed the suggestion on another thread to disable UAC which didn't help either. Can we get some help from support. I hate to waste a ticket on a known issue.

Hello,

Since my post on July 31st 12:45 AM I aslo called Microsoft general support and they came back with the 'helpful' fix of rolling back the IE8 installation to IE7.

The support tech then forwarded an feedback questionaire asking me to rate the usefulness of the service. What the??

ihad no alternative bu to accept the advice and funtionality was restored.

On such a stand out item, I am surpirsed that there has not been a formal response to this issue, nor a fix.

Hello,

I had the same issue as Mike Johnson (prompted continuously to login under IE8) and I solved it.

There is no need to uninstall IE8 just use this settings:

- store password to your CRM under Control Panel->User->Manage your network passwords

Under IE 8:

- Security->Reset all zones to default level

- Security->Trusted sites->add your crm url

- Security->User authentication->Logon->Automatic logon with current user and password

And MOST IMPORTANT: UNCHECK 'enable integrated windows authentication' option on 'Advanced' tab.

Now it have to work. Enjoy!
