Command examples

The following command configures Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Outlook with Offline Access by using a file named config_client.xml in quiet mode, and outputs a log file named clientinstall.log:

Microsoft.Crm.Application.Outlook.ConfigWizard.exe /Q /i c:\config_client.xml /l c:\clientinstall.log

The /Q quiet mode configuration parameter requires a configuration file in XML format. No dialog boxes or error messages will appear on the display screen. To capture error message information, include the log file parameter (/L) or verbose logging (/LV).

The /i [drive:] [[path] configfilename.xml]] command-line parameter provides Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Outlook Setup with required information. It is the same information that each installation screen requires. The XML elements must be in English (US); special or extended characters cannot be used. An XML configuration file that has localized XML elements will not work correctly. An explanation of each XML element and a sample XML file follows:

<Deployments> </Deployments>

The configuration file must be a valid XML file that uses <Deployment> as the root element.

<InstallOfflineCapability>true/false</InstallOfflineCapability>

Specifies the type of Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Outlook installation. Specifying true, will install Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Outlook with offline access capability.

<TargetDir>drive:\path</TargetDirectory>

Specifies the folder in which Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Outlook files will be installed.

<Deployment> </Deployment>

Parent element for all of the following elements.

<DiscoveryUrl>https://website:portnumber</DiscoveryUrl>

Specifies the URL for the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Discovery Web Service. The supported binding can be HTTPS or HTTP. If the Discovery Web Service is using a port other than the default ports 80 (HTTP) or 443 (HTTPS), you must specify the port number. If this is a Full Server deployment of Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server 2011, the Discovery Web Service URL is the same as the URL for the Web application, such as https://crmserver.

<Organizations> </Organizations>

This is the parent element for the following <Organization> element.

<Organization IsPrimary="true"/"false">OrganizationName</Organization>

Specifies the name of the organization that the client will connect to.

IsPrimary. Specifies whether this is the primary or default organization that will be resolved when using a URL that does not include the organization name.

Note

OrganizationName is case-sensitive.
