Cause

When you run a repair on the Microsoft Dynamics CRM server, the internal web address URLs that are stored on the server are changed back to the server name <port>.

Depending on your environment, web clients may still resolve the changed URL. However, the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Client for Outlook is likely to fail during configuration.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, switch the internal web address URLs back to their original values. (These should be the URLs that you typed when you accessed the CRM website before you ran the repair. These URLs must also match your bindings on the Microsoft Dynamics CRM website.) To do this, follow these steps:
  1. On the Microsoft Dynamics CRM server, click Start, click All Programs, click Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011, and then click Deployment Manager.
  2. Right-click Microsoft Dynamics CRM, and then click Properties.
  3. Under the Web Address tab, update the URLs to the match your IIS binding for the Microsoft Dynamics CRM website.
