Press Release Summary = Microsoft Dynamics CRM is becoming the tool of choice for
small, medium and even large businesses across USA and even worldwide - and there
are strong arguments to support this statement: it is web based, plus it uses
Microsoft Outlook replication model and allows you to work offline. However so far
we think Microsoft CRM was not popularized in the direction of being transferred to
new business owner when old business is sold or want through transformation,
resulted in Active Directory reinstallation. Below we would like to offer you
highlights, tested with Microsoft CRM 3.0 and we believe that future MS Dynamics CRM
releases will be more flexible in the sense of transfer from one domain to another

Press Release Body = Microsoft Dynamics CRM is becoming the tool of choice for

are strong arguments to support this statement: it is web based, plus it uses
Microsoft Outlook replication model and allows you to work offline. However so far
we think Microsoft CRM was not popularized in the direction of being transferred to
new business owner when old business is sold or want through transformation,
resulted in Active Directory reinstallation. Below we would like to offer you
highlights, tested with Microsoft CRM 3.0 and we believe that future MS Dynamics CRM
releases will be more flexible in the sense of transfer from one domain to another
· New Domain with the same name. Considering you are moving, downsizing, upsizing,
for example you have to upgrade from Windows Small Business Server to Windows
Enterprise. Install your new server and migrate Exchange users and email from your
old domain
· Back Up Microsoft CRM company and metabase databases
· Mount company and metabase databases on your new Windows server SQL server
· Run MS CRM Redeployment tool/wizard. At this time you should be able to map MS
Exchange migrated users with your old users. Please be advised to rename users ID
after MS Exchange migration - this is required and part of the procedure
· Install MS CRM 3.0 in your new domain with the same name, chose map existing
databases, be sure that your are entering the same company name
· Apply your custom reports and MS CRM SDK customizations to new environment
· Additional Tips. SM CRM Redeployment tool resolves Active Directory GUID with
human names, so you can try additional experiments in this direction. Try to avoid
Crystal Reports, use MS SQL Reporting Services instead. When doing MS CRM
programming, please follow MS CRM SDK (Software Development Kit) rules and
conventions, do not do direct SQL Server scripting, or if the last is required -
create your development DB and place custom objects there
