- Installation-error crm 3.0 trial on sbs 2003 trial
- Posted by Joachim Becker on May 25th, 2006
I tried to install CRM 3.0 90-day-trial-version on a Small Business Server
2003 180-day-trial-version. But the Installation gets an error message that
the installed SQL-Server is an "Enterprise Evaluation Server" and not an
"Enterprise Server".
How can i try the CRM-system, when i cant install the trial-version.
I will use the Small Business Server.

Go to Microsoft's website and download the new VPC. It includes an evaluation
of VPC2004 and the virtual image has a full server and CRM install. It's a
large download (five files of 600MB each plus 1 of 100MB+). Download the
files and double-click the first file to create the VPC files. You will want
to download this to a machine where you can burn them to a DVD or use them
directly on that machine, which should have at least 1.5GB of RAM and plenty
of disk space.

Thank you for your answer. But i will test the CRM and SBS on our planned
hardware for performance tests before we buy the systems. These tests are
impossible in VirtualPC.
I need to test CRM on SBS 2003, but the trial-versions cant be used to trial.
But no words of this in the release notes or other documentation.

It is actually SQL 2005 that I think is giving you the trouble. MS CRM
actually recognizes that MS SQL is an evaluation version and won't install.
To get this resolves requires all the teams.. CRM, SQL, Evaluation teams..
etc. A lon process 
I agree that the VPC is not the right answer all the time.
Are you a small shop? Are you an IT Firm or consultant? What about a CPA?
Small software developer? All of the above have access to the Action Pack.
Do you have access to MSDN or TechNet? Do you have a suite of softwre for
your test lab?
