- Offline client on Vista Home?
- Posted by Jan Vanek on May 16th, 2008
Hello,
one of our clients, a small company, has also Vista Home Premium on its
notebooks. Therefore the user can't work in the domain and needs to log on
every first time after system reboot. Using CRM for Outlook is possible only
after previous saving of credentials during Internet Explorer log on.
According KB http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931711 the credentials are
stored only during the current session. Any idea how to avoid this step?
In the Implementation Guide, Planning Guide, 3-29 there is Windows Vista
without specific edition among the required systems. So it should go?
Thanks

Which version of CRM are you using? If you are using CRM 4, then I think
you can do this via an IFD server. However, with 3.0, the laptop must be a
member of the domain, so Vista Home would not be supported.

Hello,
thanks for your response. We use CRM 4.0. Currently, we have solved this
problem setting the same login and password both on laptops and in AD. After
setting IE Security options on "Automatic logon with current username and
password", the behavior is as desired - no problems with connecting CRM from
Outlook. The security level is therefore rather low, but for the small
company working mostly in intranet or using VPN it's OK.
