Neil McDonald's Dynamics 365 Blog

I’ve posted another short video, showing how easy it is to upgrade a Dynamics CRM 4 organisation to Dynamics CRM 2011.

The steps involved were: –

• Backup current CRM 4 organisation
• Restore the database to the SQL server hosting the other CRM organisations
• Use the Deployment Manage import wizard
• Map any users that exist in the organisation to Active Directory accounts. If you are restoring to a server in the same domain, auto mapping users should work fine
• Run the import
• Log in and test

I did this using the all in one virtual server I had set up previously, which is proving to be a great little training ground!
