Microsoft Dynamics CRM Update Rollup 8

Authored by Jason Foerch - Wipfli's Microsoft Dynamics CRM Technical Lead

On Thursday, December 17th, 2009 the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Sustained Engineering team released Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 Update Rollup 8. This update affects the following CRM components:

• Update Rollup 7 is required to install Update Rollup 8 for the CRM Outlook Client and the Data Migration Client
• Update Rollup 8 is Cumulative for the following components:
  • CRM Server
  • CRM Email Router
  • CRM SRS Connector
• Update Rollup 8 for the CRM client can be deployed independently from the Server rollup

• When you click the Refresh button to update the grid, items are unexpectedly added on the top of the list.
• If you have the "Recipient Filtering" feature enabled in Exchange Server and you use SMTP to send e-mail messages from Microsoft Dynamics CRM, some recipients of the e-mail messages may receive multiple copies of the e-mail messages while other may not receive any e-mail message. Also, the e-mail activity will have a status of "Pending Send" and will fail up to 10 times before giving up. This problem occurs if at least one of the recipients on the e-mail messages sent from Microsoft Dynamics CRM is invalid based on the recipient filtering settings in Exchange Server.
• E-mail Router support for Exchange 2010 and for Exchange Web services was added.
• A blue page is displayed instead of the Report Filtering Page when Internet Facing Deployment (IFD) is enabled.
• When you bulk edit records in Microsoft Dynamics CRM, the records that were edited have their Picklist fields or Boolean fields that are not on the form during the bulk edit reverted to the default values specified in the metadata for those Picklist and Boolean attributes. If the records had different values specified before the bulk edit, these values will be lost.
• When you import an organization in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 by using Deployment Manager, the reports that are viewable by everyone in the organization are not viewable by users who only have the user level Read privilege for reports. However, before you import the organization, these same users were able to view the reports.
• After you install Update Rollup 3 or Update Rollup 4, you cannot add a user to more than one organization in the same deployment of Microsoft Dynamics CRM if the user exists in a child domain.
• If you change the tracking token prefix to contain a "(" sign, Microsoft Dynamics CRM will not open and the Async service will not function.
• If you go offline before the Address Book Provider (ABP) subscription is created, you cannot go back online in Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Microsoft Office Outlook.
• Images embedded in the body of tracked Microsoft Dynamics CRM e-mail messages can no longer be downloaded after you apply Update Rollup 7.
