crminthefield: Podcast and Overview: Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Update Rollup 7
Источник: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/crminthefiel...-rollup-7.aspx
==============

We're proud to announce that Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Update Rollup 7 released Thursday, Mar. 22nd, 2012!

On Friday Mar. 23rd 2012, Ryan Anderson and Mike Gast from the Microsoft Premier Field Engineering team provided information about the recent release of Update Rollup 7 for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011. They also briefly discussed changes in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 servicing during their:

Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Update Rollup 7 Podcast

Note regarding Podcasts: You can make our CRM Premier Field Engineering podcasts available on Zune by using the RSS feed below. In the Zune software, go to Collection -> Podcasts and click on the Add a Podcast button on the lower left, then enter the url for the RSS feed: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/pfedynamics.rss. After that, you can adjust the series settings like any other podcast, so you can sync with your smartphone or Zune.

Feature Addition in Update Rollup 7!

Update Rollup 7 for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 introduces a new feature known as Read Optimized Forms. Read Optimized Forms allow a user to quickly open a read-only copy of a record form. Read Optimized Forms improve performance for users who have high network latency and users who spend most of their time consuming information instead of editing. Form loads are faster because of the removal of the ribbon, navigation pane, web resources, and form scripting. However, you can still open the standard editable form if changes have to be made. The ability to default to using the Read Optimized Forms can be set at the Organization level, but is also controlled per user to meet individual needs. For more information about Read Optimized Forms, see "Customize Entity Forms in Microsoft Dynamics CRM"

Update Rollup 7 Build number:
5.0.9690.2165


Note: Update Rollup 7 can be uninstalled, unlike Update Rollups 4-6, which could not be uninstalled. However, you should always back up your databases and application servers before you install an Update Rollup.

Update Rollup 6 established a new servicing baseline. This will enable uninstalls of some future CRM 2011 Update Rollups, but this also means that Update Rollup 6 is prerequisite for installation of future Update Rollups, starting with Update Rollup 7.

Note: As Update Rollup 7 is cumulative, containing all changes released in earlier Update Rollup releases, it also contains the Dynamics CRM Q4 Service Update features released via Update Rollup 5. Some of these features include:
  • Outlook Client Updates:
    • Enhancements to the Reading Pane
    • Asynchronous promotion for tracked emails
  • Dialog Enhancements
  • Data Visualization Enhancements:
    • Chart Designer Enhancements
    • New Chart Types
  • Data Management Enhancements to:
    • Auditing
    • Duplicate Detection
  • Activity Feeds
    • Listening in on important activities in Social Media that take place around the people, accounts, contacts, leads or opportunities that you care about, including a Windows 7.5 phone application: "Business Hub"
    • Update Rollup 5 does not install Activity Feeds:
For more information about the Dynamics CRM Q4 Service Update features, consult:
Packages are available for download via:
  • The Update Rollup 7 Microsoft Download Center page (on Mar. 22nd, 2012)
  • The Microsoft Update Catalog (on Apr. 3rd, 2012)
  • The Microsoft Update detection / installation process (on Apr. 3rd, 2012)
    • Note: Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Updates will be pushed via Microsoft Update as Important updates
    • Client packages installed manually by downloading the packages and running install will require local administrator privileges. If the client packages are installed via Microsoft Update or SCCM (System Center Configuration Manager), they will not require local administrator privileges
    • Consider using Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) or similar software distribution technologies to distribute Dynamics CRM Update Rollups internally. WSUS is a locally managed system that works with the public Microsoft Update website to give system administrators more control. By using Windows Server Update Services, administrators can manage the distribution of Microsoft hotfixes and updates released through Automatic Updates to computers in a corporate environment
    • For help with installation please see the Installation Information section of the Update Rollup 7 "master" Microsoft Knowledge Base article
    • Please review my teammate Shawn Dieken's superb blog posting "How to install Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 without an Internet Connection" which provides details on how to set up an install on a machine without access to the Internet
    • Please review my teammate Jon Strand's equally superb blog posting "CRM 2011: Silently Installing Update Rollups" which provides details on installing CRM Outlook client update rollups "silently" in order to limit end-user interruption
for these CRM components:

NOTE: As of Jan. 20th, 2012 these installation files have been updated to include CRM 2011 Update Rollup 6 (Build 05.00.9690.1992)
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Update Rollup 7 Prerequisites:
  • Essentially the prerequisites listed in the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Implementation Guide download or online versions for the various CRM components serviced
  • You must have Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 build 5.0.9688.583 (RTM, aka Release-To-Market) installed. CRM Update Rollups are neither compatible with nor supported on pre-release builds of Microsoft Dynamics CRM - for example, the Beta and RC (Release Candidate) builds
Note regarding Microsoft Dynamics CRM Stack Technology Compatibility:

Do you want to know if certain Service Packs or versions of a Microsoft product are supported with Dynamics CRM? Now we have all of this in one “living" Knowledge Base article: the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Compatibility List. For example, you can use this KB to determine the latest Microsoft SQL Server major version and Service Pack that is supported. Microsoft will list new products like Internet Explorer 10 as TBD until testing is complete; generally near General Availability (GA) of that product.


Issues resolved via Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Update Rollups:

Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Update Rollup 7 is the seventh of a series of cumulative Update Rollups that include fixes for the issues that are or will be documented in the "Master Knowledge Base Articles" for CRM 2011 Update Rollups. As they are cumulative, Update Rollup 7 will contain all fixes shipped via Update Rollups 1-7.

Hotfixes and updates that were released as individual fixes before Update Rollup 7 release

The following issues were fixed and delivered to requesting customers prior to Update Rollup 7 release as Critical On Demand (COD) fixes:
  • Assume that you have a solution that contains an option set attribute which has no prefix. When you import updates to the solution from an earlier version of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, you receive the following error message:
    • The schema attribute is not unique

Hotfixes and updates that you have to enable or configure manually

Occasionally, updates released via Update Rollups require manual configuration to enable them. Microsoft Dynamics CRM Update Rollups are always cumulative; for example, Update Rollup 7 contains all fixes previously released via Update Rollups 1-6 as well as fixes newly released via Update Rollup 7. So if you install Update Rollup 7 on a machine upon which you previously installed no Update Rollups, you will need to manually enable any desired fixes for Update Rollups 1-7:
    • Update Rollup 1: no updates requiring manual configuration
    • Update Rollup 2 for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 contains the following update that you must enable or configure manually - details on enabling or configuring can be found in this Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
      • 2535245 RetrieveMultiple optimization for basic depth needed for local and deep depth read privileges in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011
    • Update Rollup 3: no updates requiring manual configuration
    • Update Rollup 4: no updates requiring manual configuration
    • Update Rollup 5: no updates requiring manual configuration
    • Update Rollup 6 for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 contains the following update that you must enable or configure manually - details on enabling or configuring can be found in this Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
      • 2664150 Steps to clean up the PrincipalObjectAccess table in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 after Update Rollup 6 is applied
    • Update Rollup 7: no updates requiring manual configuration

Mismatched Update Rollup versions within a Microsoft Dynamics CRM deployment

In a scenario where you may be running many client workstations with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 for Microsoft Office Outlook, a common question is whether it is supported to run mismatched versions. For example, where Update Rollup 5 has been installed on the CRM Server but the Outlook clients are still on Update Rollup 1, or where Update Rollup 1 is on the CRM server but due to updates available to the Outlook client you have decided to install Update Rollup 6 on the clients without installing Update Rollup 4 on the server.

The general rule of thumb is to try to keep the versions in sync as much as possible. However, it is permissible (though not recommended as a long-term solution) to run mismatched Update Rollup versions on Outlook client and server, as Microsoft does do some testing of such combinations.

However, regarding the other Update Rollups (for example Rollups for the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Email Router or Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Reporting Extensions), it is not supported nor recommended to run mismatched versions. A best practice is to update these components at the same time you update your CRM Server. Do the best you can to keep these Update Rollup versions in sync.

Internet Explorer 9 Compatibility

The Microsoft Dynamics CRM Sustained Engineering team extensively tested Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 against pre-release versions of Internet Explorer 9 and continues to address compatibility issues, as appropriate, against the RTW (Released to Web) version of Internet Explorer 9. When necessary, Microsoft plans to release enhancements via future Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Update Rollups to assure compatibility with Internet Explorer 9.

There are two CRM 2011 application compatibility fixes released via Update Rollup 6 related to Internet Explorer 9:
  • When you click Add Existing to associate more than 250 records to a record in Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Internet Explorer becomes unresponsive. Additionally, you receive the following error message:
    • Message: Stop running this script? A script on this page is causing your web browser to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer might become unresponsive
  • When you open a record on an associated view, picklists become inactive in Internet Explorer 9
There is a Update Rollup 5 fix for an expanding memory footprint issue associated with Internet Explorer, but it impacts all versions of Internet Explorer supported by CRM 2011 - those are currently Internet Explorer versions 7, 8, and 9.
