Save a document and quotes appears Dynamics CRM 2015 - dynamics-crm

I'm working in MS Dynamics CRM 2015 on-premise and when files are downloaded from dynamics, the file gets downloaded but that name is getting enclosed with quotes (' '). Ex:'gs1630528410565.pdf'.
This behavior exist only in chrome and works perfectly fine in Firefox and Edge.

This is something to do with the issue introduced in particular chrome version.
As a workaround, use Edge or Firefox. Always you can rename the downloaded file, in case of chrome only work environment.

This is an ongoing issue with crm 2016 and crm 2016 onprem.
We are using crm 2016 and we face the same issue.
Below is the article mentioning same.
Till now we have to deal with this annoying issue.
Microsoft had same online as well but they fixed it online as they do not prioritize Onprem anymore
By the way do you use chrome as incognito mode?

Outlook desktop users unable to click add-in UI in the taskpane

I work on an add-in for Microsoft Outlook, and recently we’ve received reports from some users that they can no longer click on buttons in the taskpanes of add-ins. Other add-ins, not just ours, have been affected by this issue. Affected users can still open the taskpane without issue. Our taskpane web view loads correctly, but then any clicking inside the taskpane has no effect. We are not seeing console errors when this happens.
To help narrow things down further: we’ve seen this issue occur in Outlook 2019 and Outlook for Microsoft 365 MSO with Office 365 accounts so far. We’ve seen this issue happen when the taskpane is opened from Compose view. One affected user was using Outlook 2019 version 16.0.13127.20266 (32-bit). Affected users have been running Windows 10, version 2004. A team member was able to reproduce the bug by updating to version 2004, but the bug disappeared for them after a subsequent system update on the same version 2004.
Has there been any recent change to add-in taskpane behavior that could be causing this issue?
This issue was fixed, and the fix should be available in Windows build 19043.1266 or later. Note that it is the Windows Build that matters, not the Office build.
We are seeing the same thing since updating to Windows 10 build 2004. For us, the add-in task pane freezes when the user tries to reply to an email (which is also compose view I guess).
Would be good to get an update on this as it is breaking the add-in for our users.
We are using Outlook Version 2009 (Build 13231.20200)
This is Outlook for Microsoft Office 365 MSO (16.0.13231.20146) 64 bit.

Easy Repro UI Automatid testing test fails. with error LoginPage' threw an exception of type 'System.MissingMethodException'

I trying to use EasyRepro https://github.com/microsoft/EasyRepro/tree/releases/OnPremise to automate UI testing for our on premise Customer Relationship Management site part of the Dynamic 365 apps.
What I have tried so far is running the sample test which comes with the EasyRepro as well as using an ADFS login function. I have also tried the later and earlier branches of the Easy Repro and the on premise branch, since I am using an on premise version of CRM. I ensured the drivers were installed and that I am using the correct versions as well that they are all compatible.
What happens is the google chrome browser opens up to the CRM website then meets the login page. Nothing happens till the test times out after about 3 minutes.
Specs
Visual Studio Enterprise 2017
Google Chrome v74
Windows Server 2012 R2
CRM Version 1612 (8.2.2.112) on-premises

Error with Dynamics 365 app for Outlook only in Desktop client but works in OWA

I have installed & configured the Dynamics 365 app for Outlook with my v9 Org. I have Office 2016 Professional Plus with latest updates.
It's totally working fine in OWA but not even started working on my Laptop Outlook. This is even listed as a known issue, but it says "frequently", for me always.
I have troubleshooted with the help of below links but no luck:
Blog & Community
Anybody know some extra troubleshooting steps to solve this?
Our environment is having some limitations like 3rd party encryption called Vaultive & then Oauth was not enabled which is a prerequisite for App for Outlook it seems in desktop client (for OWA it's not required just federation is fine).
We are able to sort out these things after MS support ticket & deep internal analysis. Now its working.

Dynamics CRM Online 2011 vs Dynamics CRM Online 2013 [API Changes]

I am doing some research on building integrations for Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online. The integration I am building will be for Dynamics CRM Online 2013, but I am curious if the 2013 version shares an API with the 2011 version.
Does anyone know if an integration built for Dynamics CRM Online 2013 will be backwards compatible with Dynamics CRM Online 2011?
Any insight here would be appreciated.
Also, if anyone has good resources for working with these API's using Ruby that would be awesome...
Thanks!
I wrote some integration for CRM 2011 Online (C# and PHP/SOAP) and I can happily say both still work.
Any integration written with CRM4 in mind would need some modifications I believe (this may just be changing the endpoints) but 2011 and 2013 seem to work ok together.
If you are wanting to connect using a non .Net language be careful as it can be significantly more painful then creating a wrapper for the web service then talking to that from Ruby.
To connect with a non .Net language you need to use SOAP. I have put some posts here (PHP code but it should be easy enough to convert)
http://crmtroubleshoot.blogspot.com.au/2013/07/dynamics-crm-2011-php-and-soap-using.html
I currently don't have it working with Active Directory authentication though!
Everything that I've read about the API changes from 2011 to 2013 has boiled down to the removal of the CRM 4 aspx endpoint. Besides that, most of the changes to CRM are front end.
I read somewhere that a solution made in 2013 can't be exported in 2011. So I don't think will be retro-compatible.
Chapter-
Introduction to solutions
here it is from the SDK:
Version compatibility
Solutions exported from an older version can be imported into newer versions. Solutions exported from newer versions cannot be imported into older versions. This includes major and minor version differences.
Solutions exported from a Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 environment or a Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online organization prior to the Fall '13 Service Update can be imported into organizations using the initial release of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online Fall '13 Service Update. However as updates are applied and include new features or metadata definitions, these new features or definitions cannot be included in a solution that is installed on an organization that is not current with the definition that the solution was exported from.

Lync 2013 Profile picture extension

Our company recently switched to Lync 2013 and I noticed that under "Settings/My Profile Picture" there is no longer an option to specify a profile image. In Lync 2013 you could at least set a picture with less than 30kb that is hosted on a webserver.
The funny thing is I can use my Lync 2013 server account with the old Lync 2010 client and then I'm still able to set a profile picture (tested & woks).
Seems as Microsoft just killed this feature in the client but not on the server (LOL!?!?).
I would like to write a tool to be able to set a picture without having to install the old Lync 2010 client. Any hints, solutions or something to read?
Update as of 12/11/2013
The latest Lync update (Lync Client CU3 (November Update)) has the option to set a photo added back to the GUI.

Original Answer
This question comes up more often. It's indeed just a user interface change between the Lync 2010 and 2013 clients, the option to set an image URL has been removed. Underwater this option is still available though, and you can publish a Photo URL to the server from a user endpoint, or from a powershell admin screen as posted in GodEater's answer.
I answered with a description on how to publish photos using a user endpoint (wheter from client SDK or UCMA) here: Display User Picture in Lync 2013
Someone's implemented this as a powershell script here (and I've tested that it works on our Lync 2013 infrastructure) :
