Cause

Cause 1


This problem occurs because the role that is assigned to the user account does not have Read access to the Saved View entity in Microsoft Dynamics CRM. See Resolution 1.


Cause 2


This problem occurs because the NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) layer returns an incorrect code. This code does not trigger a DFS failover in the DFS client engine. See Resolution 2.


Cause 3


The Disable Folder Home Page configuration is enabled through Group Policy. The Disable Folder Home Page configuration is a Microsoft Office 2003 Administrative Template (OUTLK11.adm) configuration. If this setting is enabled, Office 2003 cannot load the Microsoft Dynamics CRM folder structure. See Resolution 3.

Cause 4


This problem occurs if IIS is missing the mappings for the .srf extensions that point to the CRMisapi.dll file. See Resolution 4.

Cause 5


This problem occurs because the check for server certificate revocation is enabled. See Resolution 5.

Cause 6


This problem occurs because the Outlook.exe.config file exists in the Microsoft Office installation folder. This file is used in troubleshooting instances for the Microsoft Outlook CRM 3.0 client for Outlook so that Outlook can use a specific version of the Microsoft .NET Framework. However, this file is not required for the Microsoft Outlook CRM 4.0 client for Outlook. See Resolution 6.
