Initial CRM 2011 Outlook Client Settings

Here are some good initial Microsoft CRM 2011 Outlook Client settings that I’d suggest.  Note: Your organization’s initial Microsoft CRM settings may be different – always check with your CRM administrator for guidance:

  • Check only “Outlook Synchronization” under the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Diagnostics.  You can access the Microsoft CRM Diagnostics via Start >> Programs >> Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 >> Diagnostics

    How do I get Outlook Client to print the Set Regarding information on an email print. It worked in Outlook 2007, crm 4 but under Crm 2011 and Outlook 2010 it isn’t available.

  4. I would click the “View in CRM” and then print it – will show the regarding info.
