Data Migration Manager for CRM 4.0
Posted by GIJimmyj on December 22nd, 2007


I have just successfully installed CRM 4.0 and life is good. My next mission
was to install the data migration manager and attempt my first data migration
from another system. I was able to get the tool installed, but immediately
ran into the error:

The Data Migration Manager encountered an error while setting up the
temporary migration database.

After reading the readme file, I deleted the UserReplicationID from the
registry as it advised. I restarted the Data Migration Manager and still get
the same message. Does anyone have any insight into what other factors might
contribute to this error?

I resolved the issue (kind of). The data migration manager didn't like the
fact that the sql server was on a different server. Pointing the installation
locally fixed the issue. I'm still unclear as to why I couldn't get it to
work with the sql server on a different machine on the same network.
