We recently upgraded to Dynamics 365 from CRM Online 2016. As a result all our CRM Organizations and Regions are no longer appearing in the Unified Service Desk CRM Organization selection window. Kindly advise on how to restore.
It Seems that you were force updated, acoording to the Update Policy the minor version supported is n-2 (8.1 in the current scenario) if you want to go back to 8.0 it won't be possible cause isn't supported any more, if you want to go back to any of the supported previous versions could restore one of the snapshot of the database that if aven't pass more than 3 days, in that case you could create a customer support ticket and ask for an older backup
Hope it helps

Is Entity Change Tracking supported in version 8.2 on-premise?
I couldn't find an actual article from Microsoft that confirms this.
Use change tracking to synchronize data with external systems
For Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online organizations, this feature is available only if your organization has updated to Dynamics CRM Online 2015 Update 1. This feature is not available for Dynamics CRM (on-premises).
I'm a new user into Team Foundation Server and I have a problem, during the develop an desktop app, a team member performed a inestable version and update (realize check-in) this version into the version control and the moment when I check-in my code the server merge my code with the latest version and the system failure.
I decided delete unstable versions of control version, but I not find way perform this.
I read this article but in the article only explain how to perform Roll back version and this does not help me.
You must do a rollback to maintain history of that change.
If you rollback the checkin out is just the same as if you had never checked that code in.
we've been running to problems lately when our CRM 2011 automatically updates to the latest rollup (17 I think) coming from rollup 5. So what we've been doing now to resolve the problem is to uninstall the rollup since we're perfectly fine without the Rollup anyway. The problem is, after uninstalling the updates it just automatically updates itself again after some random time.
So the question is, is there a way to prevent CRM 2011 from automatically updating the Rollup? Any help is appreciated.
Thank you!
Update Rollup for Dynamics CRM can be applied to the Server or to the Client Outlook.
In your case you are referring to the Client Outlook, if the rollup is automatically installed you need to change the settings inside Windows Update, because the Update Rollup are also released using that channel.
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)

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.
I am a recent graduate, who has done some work experience at a company developing/designing Microsoft Dynamics CRM Solutions. I have moved on from there and have no official ties anymore. However, I do see the future in this product and I would like to keep developing solutions and increasing my development knowledge of Microsoft Dynamics CRM.
Taking into account the above and that I have a job in a different IT area. As well as the fact that I am determined to start this from scratch... What are my options?
My intentions for the future(1-3 yrs) is to develop Microsoft CRM 2013 Solutions and hopefully sell to local small businesses.
MSDN subscription or using trial subscription on CRM Online instance or using trial key:

Or if you want to be a startup, you might be eligible for BizSpark subscription:
http://www.microsoft.com/bizspark/
I think your best bet would be to get an online subscription. Your solution's code should be 100% compatible with the new CRM APIs in the SDK. Running everything from an online CRM solution would ensure it will work. This will also ensure that when the next version is released, you will be ready for it.
Unless Microsoft changes their licensing, this might be your only reasonably priced choice.
Try the Demo Builder:

It's a Wizard base tool that will guide you through the process of setting up an online demo environment.
There are a bunch of templates that you can select from that will give you a good idea of the different scenarios where CRM can be deployed.
