News

  • Welcome to the Mid-Atlantic CRM Blog, formerly owned and operated by Ben Vollmer, a CRM legend ;). My name is Chris Kahl and Ben has asked me to take over the care and feeding of this most valuable resource. Like Ben, my job is to help partners and customers with Microsoft CRM in the Eastern US. This blog is a great and searchable information source. Feel free to subscribe to the RSS feed to stay current with Dynamics CRM. Any tools discussed here are for DEMO only. You should NOT use these in a production environment unless you test them. Microsoft Support DOES NOT support these tools. Everything here is provided as-is with no warranty.
New VPC almost here...

Menno is reporting on his blog that the image is almost here. Michael is dropping it off with the legal team to be time bombed and then off to the Microsoft.com folks for prepping for download. :-) The good news is that the process is almost done.  (48 hours for time bomb, 7 days for MS.com.... So ALMOST is a little bit of a stretch...)

One of the things we did differently this time around was remove all of the "stuff" we had during the last image. Feedback from partners was that 1/2 of you loved the extra bells and whistles and 1/2 of you removed them... :-)

So as soon as the image is time bombed and ready, I am sure the VPC team will get started on building some diff disks that put back in the cool tools. (I know we will actually...)

What diff disks do you see as valuable? Functionality? Verticals?

Thanks for the update, Ben!

It'd be great to have diff disks or add-ins for the following:

- Sharepoint integration examples

- Analytical Foundation and custom report examples

- Custom Search (I discovered this recently and love it!)

- Third-party add-ins (or a way for ISVs to build their own diff disks)

- GP (and other) integration examples

I saw your posting that it doesn't really expire until 9/20 (THANKS!) but I know they had put up a new VPC image for a few days but it appears to have disappeared.  Any insight as to if/when a new one will appear (and stay there)?

TIA

Any update on the VPC?  I have been waiting for this for over a month.
