To run servicesImportant

The credentials used to run the services of Dynamics CRM and IIS App Pool can not be users of Dynamics CRM because it could cause problemsand unexpected behavior of authentication.The account that is installed Dynamics CRM 2011 should be different from the account or accounts with the service running for the same reasons.The 2011 CRM installation fails if the SQL Server service is running with local administrator account.Services can run with NETWORK SERVICE. However, this is not a good security practice and also operates at the level of organization throughservice Deployment Windows PowerShell or fail.If you use domain accounts would only be necessary to create them in AD. The setup of Dynamics CRM will automatically assign the necessaryprivileges.To avoid creating and managing multiple accounts can use the same for all services, although this is not the best security practice especiallyconsidering the service Web Service Deployment .

Server Location [Dynamics CRM, SQL and AD]Microsoft Dynamics CRM data stores all customer relationship management ﴾CRM﴿ in a database SQL Server. It is important that the computer running SQL Server islocated close to the Microsoft CRM server. This means that there must be a high‐speed network standing between the team of Microsoft CRM server and thecomputer running SQL Server to have an efficient performance of Microsoft CRM. An error in the network communications between computers running MicrosoftCRM Server and SQL Server can cause data loss and service can no longer be available.

The same applies to Active Directory. Microsoft CRM depends on Active Directory for security information. If you lose communication with Active Directory, MicrosoftCRM will not work correctly. If communications with Active Directory are not effective, will be affected the performance of Microsoft CRM. It is therefore important tolocate a domain controller for Active Directory on the same network connection speed permanent than computers that run Microsoft CRM and Microsoft SQL Server.

Then leave all roles selected as suggested by the setup.11. Provide the SQL Server server containing the databases to the system. This is the name of SQL Server 2008/2008 R2 we installed earlier for this purpose or an

existing one. Recall that the server must belong to the same domain as the server you are installing Dynamics CRM. For a new installation of Dynamics CRM, weselected the option 'Create a new deployment . "

13. Indicate the service accounts to be used for different services Dynamics CRM 2011. We recommend using a domain account. If you use domain accountswould only be necessary to create them in AD are not yet created. The setup of Dynamics CRM will automatically assign the necessary privileges. It isimportant to remember here:

The credentials used to run the services of Dynamics CRM and IIS App Pool can not be users of Dynamics CRM because it could cause problems andunexpected behavior of authentication.The account that is installed Dynamics CRM 2011 should be different from the account or accounts with the service running for the same reasons.The 2011 CRM installation fails if the SQL Server service is running with local administrator account.Services can run with NETWORK SERVICE. However, this is not a good security practice and also operates at the level of organization through serviceDeployment Windows PowerShell or fail.If you use domain accounts would only be necessary to create them in AD. The setup of Dynamics CRM will automatically assign the necessary privileges.To avoid creating and managing multiple accounts can use the same for all services, although this is not the best security practice especially considering

the service Web Service Deployment .

14. The next step is to select the website that hosts the Dynamics CRM Web application. Here you can use the default website ﴾port 80﴿ or create a completely newwebsite on another port. Unless there is any reason not to install in the default website, leave it as is because among other advantages, will be much easier forusers to access by not having to remember a port number. If you plan on creating an Internet Facing Deployment ﴾IFD﴿ and need to install ADFS on the sameserver as CRM you should choose to install CRM to a new web site. ADFS is required to be installed to the default web site.

17. Indicate Reporting Services 2008/2008 Server R2 to use. This is the server installed and configured earlier for this purpose or may be others that have beeninstalled in native mode ﴾default mode SSRS installation.﴿ Suggests automatically setup the server path which typically is correct. Anyway, we can verify and testin a separate Internet Explorer window. It is worth noting that the path is required here is the the ReportServer and not the ReportManager.

Important: 

Make sure the account you are installing Dynamics CRM 2011 is explicitly added in the local Administrators group on SQL Server server where ReportingServices. Even as Domain admin can originate from the error 'rsAccessDenied'. Just 'auto‐adding' to the local administrators group, the error disappears.

Also make sure that port 80 ﴾default port where you install Reporting Services﴿ to accept connections s incoming firewall settings on the server SQLServer Reporting Services. If everything is correct, when we put the path of ReportServer in Internet Explorer from the server you are installing CRM, you shouldsee something like the following:

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/3176.how­to­install­microsoft­dynamics­crm­2011.aspx 47/86

If you've followed all the steps above should have everything OK here or how much less a warning such as Sandboxing service that indicates that you are usingthe same service account that the other services, which is not the best security practice. Anyway, this does not pose a major issue in most scenarios by which wewill continue.

21. Here, the setup simply indicates the services that can be stopped and restarted during installation.

25. To finish we must press on 'Finish' and wait for the server is restarted.26. After rebooting the system should be available for access. We can simply open an Internet Explorer window and go to the path where it was installed. If the

installation was the default website, the path would be: http:// <servername> <servername> where is the server name. By charging we find a page like this ﴾nodata﴿:

Post‐Installation.Although so far we have successfully installed the product, we still have one more step to work with reports, view them and create our own reports. Also, if we operatethe system in Spanish, we proceed to install the language pack ﴾language pack﴿ accordingly. This section will describe these activities.

Installing Microsoft Dynamics CRM Reporting ExtensionsThat step is to install Reporting Services extensions to Dynamics CRM, which is performed on the server SQL Server Reporting services by following these steps :

1. Within the SQL Server Reporting Services has run SetupSrsDataConnector.exe which is under the folder \ Server \ amd64 \ SrsDataConnector in the middleof Dynamics CRM installation 2011. By the way, run the installer with a 'Run as Administrator'

2. Like the 2011 installer Dynamics CRM Server, the setup asks if you want to check if updates are available for download and apply before proceeding with theinstallation. This is recommended to leave the system to check this. Since the release of the product is very recent, when there are no updates, but it is likelythat in the future do exist and we should check this.

6. Wait a few seconds until a new dialogue. This can take several seconds .7. In this step we must specify the SQL Server server that contains the Dynamics CRM database. Surely it is the same for Reporting Services where we are

performing this installation. So write your name and press 'Next'.

9.

Installing the language pack for SpanishSo far we have fully installed Dynamics CRM 2011 and what remains for us is putting on the Spanish language pack for our users to use the system in thislanguage instead of the base language ﴾English in this case﴿.

We can also perform an installation base directory being the Spanish language if we wish, provided that both the operating system and SQL Server are in Spanish orotherwise, in English. Eg if the Windows Server 2008 is the Portuguese can not do an installation of Dynamics CRM 2011 in Spanish, but that we do in English orPortuguese.

In essence, there are substantial benefits to justify installing it directly in Spanish beyond the customization of entities can be done only in the base language. The enduser will not notice any difference.

It is worth mentioning that the language pack must be installed in both Dynamics CRM server and client using Outlook ﴾except to install the Outlook clientfrom the Web CRM via the button 'Get CRM For Outlook' and are working on Spanish﴿.

However, the steps for installing the Spanish language pack on the server, are :

1. Download language pack from here  . ﴾File CRM2011‐Mui‐XXX‐amd64.exe﴿ Important to note that prior to downloading the package we select thelanguage in the combo "Change Language." and press the button 'Change'

2. After downloading the package, start the installation. In the first step we asked to select a folder where you unzip the package contents.
