« Book release date update | Main | Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 list web part for SharePoint is now working! »
I admit it, I am defeated
I was all excited on Friday when I saw that Microsoft posted a Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 List Web Part for use with SharePoint. We immediately downloaded it and installed it our SharePoint site. However, after trying several different configuration settings, I am ready to admit defeat. Regardless of the value we enter for the CRM Server URL (http://crm, crm, http://crm.sonomapartners.local, etc.) we keep getting a "You must specify a valid Microsoft CRM server." error message. When we click the Note, it says:
This version of the CRM List Web Part only supports binding to a single Microsoft CRM server per SharePoint server. Since this part has already been configured on this SharePoint Server, the CRM Server URL has been defaulted for you.
I'm not aware of any other web parts binding to a different Microsoft CRM server...so what's up? It also says the Server URL is "defaulted for me", but in fact the CRM server URL was blank.
Damn! I'd really love to see this thing working, does anyone have any suggestions?
**3/14 UPDATE** We now have this working, our problem was caused by Trust for Delegation configuration settings.

I'm running the Small Business Edition, so everything is on one box, but I also had the message that the site had been defaulted when it was not. I put http://servername:5555 in the CRM server URL, and it worked for me.

It worked for me with the port number in here as well... (Mine is also on 5555) Have you tried http://crm:80?

I just tried it with the port too (http://crm:80) but we still get the same error! However, I am very glad to hear that other people got it working...it must be something unique to our environment.

I can't even get it to let me type in the box!

Ok, can't type in the box if you just add the webpart to your personal page, not the shared page (not every user has access to the CRM system, so shared doesn't work for us).
And then I still get the same problem described above. Oh well.

Hi there,
I'm having problems getting the CRM 3.0 web part working in Sharepoint
and I suspect that it's to do with my configuration:
I run Sharepoint on an SBS 2003 box and CRM 3.0 on a seperate 2003
member server.
In the AD I've set the Sharepoint SBS box to allow delegation, however
as this is SBS, you can't specifiy whether or not to use Kerberos
Has anyone got it working using this type of setup before?
