&tl;dr If you’re using CrmServiceClient and getting what seems to be a valid connection but cannot really use it because of the “The user authentication failed!” error, check the servers’ clocks in your infrastructure. Bo-o-o-oring I have some perfect reasonable code deployed in Azure and that code has been humming along, talking to Dynamics 365 […]
We had a chance to check out Dynamics 365 v9 On Premise, and in the process answered some of our lingering questions. Does v9 On Premise have Unified Interface?

If you are a past or present Adxstudio partner, you might have received the email from adxquest@microsoft.com (quest, er?) with the subject Legacy Adxstudio Portals v7 Partner Announcement. The email is all about the changes coming for legacy Adxstudio Portals v7. I don’t believe there is any new information but it’s really nice to have […]
Today’s contribution is “an old school on-prem tip” from Brian Illand. Despite the marketing hype around Dynamics 365 being a whole new product, remember that it is a ‘minor’ upgrade from Dynamics 2016 to Dynamics 365 On-Premise.

But, hey, the said, we now have better servers, they said, and our SQL Servers are much smarter, they said, and gave us a […]
Your CRM deployment is on premises, as is the rest of your IT infrastructure and services, and your bosses cannot be persuaded to consider Office 365, CRM Online or Windows Azure even for a second. That means you know the pain of discovering that some of the on-premises services, like AD FS, are lagging behind […]
