I had setup CRM 2011 to run using a service account as good practise recommends (well actually you are meant to have separate accounts to run the different services I think). I have setup the service account but when I tried to call CRM from another machine other than the CRM server I was getting authentication problems. […]

CRM 2011 – Problems after Renaming the CRM Server
September 12, 2011
I had to rename the server which was hosting CRM 2011 today. This as you can imagine is something that CRM 2011 didn’t like and instantly stopped working as soon as I had done it. The reason I was doing something as silly as renaming the CRM server was because I had upgraded CRM 4 […]
