Whenever a new user is created in Office 365 and assigned a Dynamics 365 CE license, by default they are added as a user to *every* Dyn365 instance in the tenant.

Dynamics 365 Attachment Storage Revisited
I recently wrote a couple of blogs regarding the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Attachment Management solution that highlighted the benefits of using Azure Blob storage to hold attachments. I also uncovered an issue when using the Attachment Management solution with Dynamics 365 Portals. The team at Microsoft Labs did not let this go unnoticed and created… Continue reading Dynamics 365 Attachment Storage Revisited
Dynamics 365 Attachment Management and Dynamics 365 Online Portals – Do not mix!
UPDATE: The latest version of the Attachment Management solution has the ability to specify the entities that will utilize the solution. Be sure to “un-select” the adx_webfile entity and the ensuing disaster described in this post will be avoided. 🙂 Original Post here… A while back I wrote about Microsoft Dynamics 365 Attachment management solution… Continue reading Dynamics 365 Attachment Management and Dynamics 365 Online Portals – Do not mix!
Dynamics 365 Solution Import Issue – Cannot add root component of type 60
For some reason solution imports have not been my friend the last few months. Usually when a solution doesn’t import, 99% of the time it comes down to dependency issues or a corrupt solution file. For on-premise deployments, if the log file doesn’t provide good information, setting up server side traces or SQL profiler traces… Continue reading Dynamics 365 Solution Import Issue – Cannot add root component of type 60

What is “xRM”?
xRM – What is it? A week ago I went to my first Canadian MVP day at the Microsoft offices in Mississauga, Ontario. It was great to network with MVPs from other Microsoft products. Most were aware of Dynamics 365/CRM but I found a few who were not aware of the full platform capabilities. So… Continue reading What is “xRM”?

JavaScript Code Location on Portals 8.2
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Portals v8.2 introduced a new way to implement multilanguage portals. I outlined how to enable multi-language on portals here. Essentially, there is now a “parent” web page record as well as a “child” page for the default language and additional content language pages can be added. What can be confusing is if… Continue reading JavaScript Code Location on Portals 8.2
Stopping Deactivation of Records in Dynamics 365
There was a question recently on CRMUG about how to modify security to prevent users from Deactivating Contacts. In Dynamics 365, the security roles can be configured (and is best practice) to prevent users from deleting records. Deactivating records is generally a safer process as it can be reversed and no information is lost. However, there… Continue reading Stopping Deactivation of Records in Dynamics 365
