The answer is “it depends.” It depends on how you define “works with.” There is no PowerApps connector for D365 on Premise. There is a SQL Server connector, and this connector can connect to on premises SQL databases. This includes the D365 on premise SQL database. So you can make an app that reads directly […]
A client recently moved from a SPLA license to a Volume License (VS) license for CRM On Premises. They needed to replace their license key, but the Volume Licensing Service Center (VSLC) said a key code was not required for Dynamics CRM 2016. The answer is there still is a product key, but the volume […]
Application Request Routing (ARR) feature allows creating a reverse proxy front-end for your on-premises deployment. Web Application Proxy (WAP) is another (newer) kid on the block allowing DMZ deployments of CRM. We’ve been successfully using both for quite some time and they are way down on the list of suspects when things go wrong. And […]

Gotta love user Q&A sessions, like the one at Convergence 2015 that I had a privilege to take part in. Questions from users are always refreshing, very often challenging and sometimes they are just the reminder that any small bit of information that one possesses is not necessarily the common knowledge.
