Am I missing something? I cannot get into the setting area in the new Demo!! The Wunderbar button is missing, even though I am logged in as the Administrator!

MDodd, close Outlook and hit F5 in IE. This is a known issue for a LONG time :)

has anyone noticed seemingly random authentication prompts while using the web client in the Aug07 VPC?  The odd thing is that it rejects the 'crmadmin' credentials.  Cancelling brings up a 'page not accessible' error.  Only thing i've found to get around it is to close the browser and re-open CRM.

It says:

Username: CRMADMIN (also tried the default crmadmin)

Password: pass@word1

But I'm always getting:

The system could not log you on. Make sure User name and domain are correct then type your password again. Letters in passwords must be typed using the correct case.

What could be wrong here?

Thanks!

Guys, I encountered the same problem. WHat I have tested so far with succes is adding http://crm to the trusted sites. Please give me feedback if this works or doesn't work for you.

Andreas Kraus said:

If you type in the password manually it works, just keep in mind that it's an US keyboard layout, so the @ sign is actually printed with SHIFT + 2 on e.g. a german keyboard. It also doesn't work if you try to paste it, you have to fill it in manually.

hth,

Andreas

Also thanks to Tim Shaw for the help!

is it somehow possible to uninstall the included sample database? i would rather like to enter and use my own data. the way - like its said in the implemenation guide - over Microsoft.Crm.Tools.SampleDataWizard.exe doesnt work it always says that an error occured during uninstall.

mennotk said:

Jan, You can restore the original database via SQL. You can view the original database in the default backup directory from SQL.

when i restored the original database from the backup location, and started CRM i got a "Authenication error".

the only way i could get around this was by uninstalling crm, running the re-deployment tool and reinstalling crm.

isnt there any quick way to delete the sample data from the image, or an easy way to switch between sample and clean database.

thanks

Adding http://crm to the trusted sites does not work for me.  I also turned off the popup and set the NIC to local only.  Got any other ideas?

I have problems that after using CRM for certain period (20-30mins), CRM/IE will popup login box and ask for credential. But whatever username (crmadmin) I type, it seems that no credential can be accepted. So the only solution is to close and reopen the browser. Hmm.. this is difficult to use for presales demo. Any fix?

Hi

I downloaded the image and cant get the IE to load the crm page. When  i try to browse from IIS manager I get the error below. Any help is higly appreciated

Most likely causes:

You are not connected to the Internet.

The website is encountering problems.

There might be a typing error in the address.

I set the networkadapter1 to local only.
