In Outlook, go to Tools|Address Book. From the drop-down list, choose the "CRM Contacts" Address Book. Is it blank?
If so, there's an easy way to correct the problem.
- In Outlook, choose Options from the CRM Menu
-
Click on the Address Book tab:
- Select "Match all contacts in Microsoft Dynamics CRM" and "Match all items in Microsoft Dynamics CRM"
- Click OK
- Synchronize with CRM by choose "Synchronize with CRM" from the CRM menu
-
Return to CRM Address book. You should now see entries there.
后来,在网上又搜到了这篇文章,发布日期还挺新的,看来部署这种场景的人不多

The simplest way is to install each of the Pre-Req's manually. The best place to search for these is download.microsoft.com. I'll refrain from posting links as these redistributable packages are always being updated.
The Visual C++ Redistributable Package presents us with a slightly different challenge. The package is unable to detect it's installed state so CRM always installs it. So we need to create a Redist folder, subfolders for i386/amd64, a VCRedist folder and then place the VC++ install files there. Your full folder structure should look like this:
- \Redist\i386\VCRedist\vcredist_x86.exe
- \Redist\i386\VCRedist\vcredist_x64.exe
- \Redist\amd64\VCRedist\vcredist_x64.exe
- \Server\i386\SetupServer.exe
- \Server\amd64\SetupServer.exe
- \Client\SetupClient.exe
- \DMWizard\SetupDMClient.exe
- \Exchange\i386\setupexchange.exe
- \Exchange\amd64\setupexchange.exe

- The SDK will be posted in the next few days.
- The Server Install requires a license key. Trial license keys have been provided on this page.
- Information regarding the availability of non-trial keys will be forthcoming from our marketing team.
- IMPORTANT! You may use the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 editions with the respective License Keys for a maximum of 90 days. Each edition may be converted to a full use version by applying a commercial license key in the Microsoft CRM License Manager. A re-install of the software is not required. You will need to convert the license key to a commercial license before the 90-day period ends, as the 90 day period cannot be extended, and Users will not be warned of the impending expiration. Should expiration occur, access can be regained by applying a commercial license key.
- The final build number was 4.0.7333.3
- If you were involved in the pre-release programs please make sure that you clean up all your old DLLs for older versions.
- You will want to recompile any code against the RTM Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.dll and Microsoft.Crm.SdkTypeProxy.dll. These two assemblies can be found in the GAC folder of the Server Install.
- If you use a static copy of the Discovery Service (like I do) you should also grab a new copy of this. Remember that the WSDL for the discovery service is interchangeable between WLID, Windows and IFD authentication end-points.
From InternetNews.com:
"Microsoft announced Monday that it has released to manufacturing the long-awaited update to its Dynamics-branded customer relationship management software (CRM).
Previously codenamed "Titan," the latest version of Microsoft Dynamics CRM actually has two names in its final form. For on-premise, customer-hosted, as well as partner-hosted deployments, the product has been dubbed Dynamics CRM 4.0. The company will also be offering the package on-demand in a Microsoft-hosted environment that it has named Dynamics CRM Live.
Existing and new customers will be able to download the update when it's released on the Web this week, a Microsoft official told InternetNews.com. The Microsoft-hosted version, however, continues to run under the early access program that the company began in September.
Microsoft plans to take that version live during the first half of 2008, said Brad Wilson, general manager of Microsoft Dynamics CRM. "[In the meantime,] more than 100 customers are using [CRM Live] at this point," Wilson added."
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 is available as a 90-day trial version at the Microsoft Downloads center. The download page will be updated with new languages as they are released.
Download the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 Trial Versions in either 32 or 64-bit!
Download the Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Outlook (For On-Premise and Hosted Editions) 32 bit!
Download the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 Data Migration Manager 32 bit!

What's New in Microsoft Dynamics CRM "4" CTP 2 Server?
Microsoft Dynamics
CRM 4 Community Technology Preview 2 includes several new enterprise-level
features that offer a wide range of flexibility, scalability, and ease of
use.
What's New in Microsoft Dynamics CRM "4" CTP 2 Server?
Microsoft Dynamics
CRM 4 Community Technology Preview 2 includes several new enterprise-level
features that offer a wide range of flexibility, scalability, and ease of
use.
Multi-tenancy
Earlier versions of Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server provided a
single organization solution. Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4 Community Technology
Preview 2 provides the ability to host multiple organizations in a single
Microsoft Dynamics CRM deployment. This feature is a great benefit for hosted
solutions. Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4 Community Technology Preview 2 now
implements two types of databases:
• A single configuration database that
stores metadata and location information for all organizations
• One or more
organization databases
Server roles
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4 Community Technology Preview 2
introduces several new server roles that provide services, which increase
flexibility and scalability. You can choose to have a computer dedicated to one
server role or to all server roles.
The server roles are selected and
installed during Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4 Community Technology Preview 2 Server
Setup. The server roles are:
• Application Server Role: This server role
provides the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4 Community Technology Preview 2 Web user
interface and services.
• Asynchronous Services Role: This server role allows
you to deploy the asynchronous services, such as the Workflow and Bulk E-mail
services to a separate machine.
• SQL Governor Role: This server role manages
user requests during heavy loads to deliver efficient throughput and increased
quality of service.
SRS Data Connector
The SRS Data Connector is a service that connects the
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4 Community Technology Preview 2 Server computer to the
Microsoft SQL Report Server computer. The SRS Data Connector eliminates the
Kerberos double-hop authentication that was required for Microsoft Dynamics CRM
3.0 deployments where Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services was installed on a
separate computer.
The SRS Data Connector is installed as a separate
component.
Resource Center
The Resource Center provides a place within the
application where users, administrators, and implementers will find information
to help them use and configure Microsoft Dynamics CRM. When completed, the
Resource Center will present a wide range of rich content and links to valuable
resources. Much of the content in the Resource Center will be created by experts
in the Microsoft Dynamics CRM community.
当然,还有预料之中的MUI的支持,上两张图瞄瞄
