Problems Activating the SharePoint 2013 List Component

If you are having problems activating the SharePoint list component for CRM 2013 and SharePoint 2013 and the activate button is grayed out. You can try the method below if you didn't install SharePoint on a domain controller.

If you did install CRM 2013 on your domain controller like a lot of us Pre-sales guys used to do in the SP 2010 days, just slap yourself in the head right now.  It appears you are beyond hope and need to break out your SharePoint server to another box that is not a domain controller.  That's what I did today....  :(

I found another reference to this same thing being the issue too but now I can't find it again.  I never found anyone that ever got around it in any other way than breaking out the servers.

It worked for me also.  I still had to provision the code hosting service (top link+), but after I did that it worked fine.

Happy Tuesday.................................... :P

Firefox Refresh Issues In CRM 2013

I could not get a new custom workflow action to show up in the workflow editor today.  I tried ctrl+f5, closing the browser and restarting, cleaning, rebuilding, and re-updating the assembly.  All of my other workflow steps were still available.

Finally tried a different web browser.

Showed up fine in Internet Explorer.

I Will Presenting to the CRMUG Online on February 24th

I am honored to say that I will be representing RBA and presenting at the CRMUG virtually on February 24th.  This is my DevFest session that I did at the CRMUG summit.

It's a fun idea where I have a menu slide that people pick options, mostly dev topics, from the menu and I basically just run through demos for an hour, whichever ones the audience wants!

You should try to make it!
