Sample server XML configuration file
The following configuration file installs an update file that is located on an internal share, installs a Full Server with all Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server 2011 components, and creates new databases on the default instance of a SQL Server that is named SQLServer:
<CRMSetup>
<Server>
<Patch update="true">\\server\share\patchfile.msp</Patch>
<LicenseKey>XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX</LicenseKey>
<SqlServer>SQLServer</SqlServer>
<Database create="true"/>
<Reporting URL="https://MyReportingServer/ReportServer"/>
<OrganizationCollation>Latin1_General_CI_AI</OrganizationCollation>
<basecurrency isocurrencycode="USD" currencyname="US Dollar" currencysymbol="$" currencyprecision="2"/>
<Organization>Organization Display Name</Organization>
<OrganizationUniqueName>Organization_Name</OrganizationUniqueName>
<OU>OU=value,DC=subdomain,DC=subdomain,DC=subdomain,DC=com</OU>
<WebsiteUrl create="true" port="5555"> </WebsiteUrl>
<InstallDir>c:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM</InstallDir>
<CrmServiceAccount type="DomainUser">

<ServiceAccountPassword>password</ServiceAccountPassword>
</CrmServiceAccount>
<SandboxServiceAccount type="DomainUser">

<DeploymentServiceAccount type="DomainUser">

<ServiceAccountPassword>password</ServiceAccountPassword>
</DeploymentServiceAccount>
<AsyncServiceAccount type="DomainUser">
<ServiceAccountLogin>Contoso\CRMAsyncService</ServiceAccountLogin>
<ServiceAccountPassword>password</ServiceAccountPassword>
</AsnyncServiceAccount>
<SQM optin="true"/>
<muoptin optin="true"/>
<Email>
<IncomingExchangeServer name="ExchangeServerName"/>
</Email>
</Server>
</CRMSetup>
Caution
Maintaining the configuration file that has <ServiceAccountLogin> and <ServiceAccountPassword> values specified is a security risk because you are storing a password in plain text. Delete these elements as soon as the configuration file is used to install Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server 2011.
