Step 3: Install Microsoft Dynamics CRM servers

[Applies to: Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0]

Each instance of Microsoft Dynamics CRM in a multi-server deployment must be installed one at a time. The following steps assume that a single instance of a full-server installation of Microsoft Dynamics CRM will be deployed on a computer that is named CRM01, and then a second instance will be installed on a computer named CRM02.

The following editions of Microsoft Dynamics CRM are supported for multiple-server installations.

• Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 Professional
• Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 Enterprise

Installing Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 Workgroup on multiple servers is not supported and is a violation of the license agreement.

1. Run Microsoft Dynamics CRM Setup on server CRM01. For step-by-step guidance, see the previous topics in this section.
2. On the Specify Deployment Options page, select the instance of SQL Server that will be used for the Microsoft Dynamics CRM databases. Then, select the Create a new deployment option. Click Next and continue Setup.
3. On the Specify Security Account page, select the domain user account (for example, CRMService) created previously.
4. Continue to run Setup until the installation is completed.

Install the second instance Microsoft Dynamics CRM on CRM02:

1. Run Microsoft Dynamics CRM Setup on server CRM02.
2. On the Specify Deployment Options page, enter or select the name of the computer that is running SQL Server where the Microsoft Dynamics CRM databases are stored (from the installation of CRM01), and then click Connect to an existing deployment. Click Next.
3. On the Specify Security Account page, select the domain user account (for example, CRMService) created previously.
