CRM 4.0 - System Jobs always stuck in "Waiting"

I had just re-isntalled CRM so that I could set it up as an IFD (Internet Facing Deployment) server. Also CRM is set up through an ISA firewall and using SSL. I had to update several fields in the MSCRM_CONFIG database just to get everything to work correctly. I will post another entry with how to get everything workign in IFD mode through ISA correctly.

Now here is what happened.... So one day I was running some test marketing campaign e-mails from CRM and I noticed they were not being sent out. I checkout out the system job page and noticed they were all stuck in the Waiting condition. I tried moving them to Resume but they would just go back into the Waiting condition.

I looked around the web and found out that apparently I had missed a database field update that was not included on the website I found that talked about IFD setup. It's "AsyncSdkRootDomain" and can be found under the DeploymentProperties table.

Here is how to fix it. I have pieced this together from several other people who's pages are linked below.

-Run this SQL command to see your current settings:

Select NVarCharColumn
from DeploymentProperties
where ColumnName='ADSdkRootDomain'
or ColumnName='ADWebApplicationRootDomain'
or ColumnName='AsyncSdkRootDomain';


-You will most like get results that look like this.. where <server> is your server name, and $lt;port> is the port number you are running the CRM website under:

'<server>:<port>'
'<server>:<port>'
''


-Run the follow SQL script to update the value for "AsyncSdkRootDomain". Make sure to replace with your server name and with the port number you are running your CRM website under.

Update DeploymentProperties
Set NVarCharColumn = '<server>:<port>'
Where ColumnName = 'AsyncSdkRootDomain';

-Now restart IIS (open a command prompt and run IISRESET)
-Restart the CRM Async service on the server.

You should be back up and running smoothly.

Add User As Local Administrator On Domain Controller

I recently was settting up a new Microsoft SharePoint 2010 machine and had promoted the machine to a domain controller before creating my SharePoint admin accounts.  I needed to add several of my accounts to the local Administrators group.  Unfortunately after you promote a server to a domain controller you can no longer access the GUI for Local Users and Groups.  Instead I had to use the command line to add the users.

Open a command promt using the "Run as administrator" function and then run the following command.

net localgroup Administrators /add {domain}\{user}

Note: do not include the {} brackets.

Display ADFS 2.0 Forms Authentication Login Page Instead of Windows Authentication Prompt

Image
After installing ADFS 2.0 for SharePoint a Windows login prompt was shown when the SharePoint site forwarded to the ADFS server instead of the ADFS Forms Authentication login screen. 



No matter what account I tried to use here I would eventually receive a 401 Not Auhorized error.



The reason for this is that the ADFS website tries to use Windows Authentication before trying to use the Forms authentication which displays the loging page below.




To fix this do the following on the ADFS server:
1. Open IIS and Explore under Default Website\adfs\ls

2. Open the web.config file with Notepad, look for the localAuthenticationTypes section.


3. Move the line for Forms above the line for Integrated and save the web.config file.  This will force the ADFS application to use the Login Page authentication before trying to use Windows Authentication.
