There is a problem communicating with the Microsoft CRM Server
Posted by Larba Nadieba on February 21st, 2007


Hello ALL,

I have a problem with my CRM Client for Outlook.
The CRM Server 3.0 is on a Windows 2003.
Wenn I add in IIS 6.0 the server name (FQDN and NETBIOS NAME) as a multiple
identities and remove the default web site i can access to server with the
CRM Outlook client but I cannot access anymore with the CRM Web Client. And
wenn I remove the server name (FQDN and NETBIOS NAME) and put back the
default web site the Web client is working but not the CRM client for
Outlook.

Error in CRM client for outlook:

The microsoft CRM Server is unavailable.
There is a problem communicating with the Microsoft CRM Server. The server
might be unavailable. Try again later. if the problem persists, contact your
system administrator

My environment:
Windows XP SP2
Office 2003 Pro SP2

thank you for help.

Ousman
