- SFO "Go Offline" fails
- Posted by Eric Rist on March 17th, 2005
I've seen many posts about similar issues but non have been able to help me.
When I click 'go offline' I get the 'offline configuration' windows. I
leave the defaults and click ok. it goes through a bunch of things that all
look good (Initialing, Connecting, retreiving, etc) then briefly I will see
'network path not found.
Working 'on-line' works well. The web interface also works well, both
locally and via VPN.
The 'snapshots' in SQL on the crm server have a status of 'success'. I'm not
sure what else to look at. Any ideas would be most welcome!
TIA
Eric

Do you recieve any records? what is the issue with it?
Do you see any transfer of records in the SQL enterprise manager?
(replication monitor | agents | merge agents)
Because we are having transfers in here but only the logged in users records
are being shown in the SFO offline.

We installed SFO on over 30 laptops and had to attempt the sync at
least 4 times on each one before it actually started to work. When we
ran into the error you are having we normally were able to get around
it either but restarting the server or waiting for a down time on the
network. We were doing all of our syncs remotely so a lot of pieces in
play

Hi Nathan,
Replication Monitor does not appear in my CRM SQL. I haven't played with it.
The CRM installed configure it as such. What do you think this means?

Hey Mike,
I have tried over and over again to sync. The error is very consistant. I
will try re-booting the server this evening. It has been up for some time now.
Thanks,
Eric

Hi John,
I am definately connected the company network when I try to go off-line.
While being on-line I can check any records in the CRM via Outlook. So there
is definately some connectivity.

Ok, I have figured out my troubles. In my case what I need to do in order to
get SFO to synchronize was this:
From the client machine launch:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\svrnetcn.exe
Be sure that TCP/IP is on the right in the “Enabled protocols” list and the
properties of TCP/IP has the default port value 1433
From the CRM Server be sure that the folder mscrm located at:
D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\REPLDATA\mscrm
is shared as
MSCRMSnapShotShare
The share will require admins full access and every one with the default
permission.
Really, it looks like I just didn't to finish the CRM setup.
