How do I delete and create a new instance on Dynamics CRM Online 2016 with a clean set of Users?
Our organisation has Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online internal use rights (IUR) benefit for MPN members with 15 licences. This gives us a Production and a Sandbox licence to use.
I have assigned 10 license.
When I delete and recreate either the Sandbox or Production instance I get my 10 users I expect, but then I also have 4 additional users which I think came from an earlier on premise version of CRM we were trialing.
The Full name either has a # symbol at the beginning or the end of their name.
These other 4 users do not consume a licence but are listed under the enabled users. I can't disable them or seem to get rid of them.
How can I completely reset my Dynamics CRM Online 2016 instances?
Deleting them and recreating them just seems to always create the same set of users.
The issue was due to the users being assigned the role of "Global Administrator" in Office 365.
Any users marked with the role of "Global Administrator" will be automatically included in your Dynamics CRM Online users. Even if they are not assigned a Dynamics CRM Online licence.
The good news is that they do not consume a CRM licence. The bad new is that they are always active in the list.

I have 17 different organizations of Dynamics CRM 2011. I want to create a user in one of them and then export/import that user to the remaining 16 organizations. I tried to use XRMToolBox, but i do not see an option for user transfer. Please assist.
I'm trying to study for the MB-200 exam and I'm using the Microsoft Learn resource to study. I'm currently working through the Apply goal management to Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement. In the Exercise - Measuring customer success using goals it says:
In your Dynamics 365 Instance, go to Settings > Data Management.
I don't have an instance of Dynamics 365.
So my question is, is there a ready-made sandbox environment where everything is already setup, with the correct licenses and roles and security applied?
If no such sandbox is available, does this means I have to learn how to configure a Dynamics 365 instance before I can attempt the MB-200 exam? As without a Dynamics 365 instance, it seems I can't do the exercises to study for MB-200.
Any pointers on how I should go about doing this will be greatly appreciated as I have tried creating a trial Dynamics 365 for Customer Service account, but it seems that is not enough, I need to configure licenses, and users, and roles before I can actually use the Customer Service app in Dynamics 365 trial.
It may be that I need to work towards a different exam before the MB-200 which helps me learn how to configure a Dynamics 365 instance. If that is the case, could someone please let me know which exam that is. Also, from the Microsoft Learn website, which learning path or module should I start to learn how to configure a Dynamics 365 instance for Customer Services before I can attempt the MB-200 exam? I can't seem to find a learning path or module for configuring a Dynamics 365 instance from the Microsoft Learn website which is obvious.
Its really easy to provision a trial here:
https://trials.dynamics.com/
You just need to provide a URL and username and password (write them down!), and you have a fully working instance of Dynamics - You might want to provision just the Customer Service First party app for this particular exam.
Make sure you click on 'Are you signing up on behalf of a customer or using this trial for development purposes?' link.
You'll have a pre-configured Customer Engagement portal for 30 days (you'll automatically have admin access), after which you have the option to purchase it or delete it - No credit card details are needed. In addition you may go to the envrironment page and add any additional modules you may need in addition to the base install.
Good luck in your exam.
I am not an expert but you should start from PL-900 which is most suitable for you as a beginer
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/paths/power-plat-fundamentals/
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/certifications/exams/pl-900
then you should go for pl-400 ( old name MB-400 )
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/certifications/exams/pl-400
Exam PL-400: Microsoft Power Platform Developer
there some awesome resource to learn theoretically or in some case they provide you sandbox as well after completing all those certifications then I suggest you pl-200 (old name MB-200)
here you can get a trial which will help you learn practically but there are so many things which you need professional license
https://trials.dynamics.com/
long story short dynamics 365 is a big platform that you can not learn just from trials or theoretical knowledge you have to do some internship or job to get a professional expericance which will help you to pass certifications.
Need help with deleting a user out of 15 different instances of MS CRM Dynamics. Is there a faster way of doing this rather than deleting the person out one instance at a time?
Whether it is crm onpremise or online, deleting systemuser is not possible (atleast by supported way) & not recommended to do in unsupported way (like SQL Delete in onpremise).
You can remove all the security roles & teams she/he is part of (take care of all WF, records they own)
Only you can disable by doing so in onpremise or by revoking license in O365 portal to replicate in crmol
If the AD account is removed/disabled it should replicate in Dynamics
No way to do in bulk across organizations anyway
Edit:
Based on comments, C# Console application can be developed, to iterate through multiple CRM connection strings & issue a sdk Service call to target system user record in each instance.
Since Dynamics 365 version 9 upgrade, we have observed new workflows automatically created on CRM instance namely- ManageContractLineState, ManageContractState, ManageEntitlementState.
As I can see from the ManageEntitlementState workflow, it is to handle the status of entitlements in CRM. But earlier this was not done using CRM workflows.
Now each workflow instance will be running for each entitlement in our system which is a huge problem since it puts unnecessary load on our machine.
Is anyone else able to see these workflows on their instances? And why is MS adding these workflows?
October 2018 Release notes talks about deeper integration of entitlements between D365 offerings namely Field service & Sales (work order). There may be background automations happening to achieve this & Workflow is part of it.
Entitlement management
With this release, the Field Service application includes the ability to define entitlements and associate
them with work orders in field service scenarios. Entitlements help
service agents understand the service terms that customers are
eligible for.
This capability helps service organizations ensure
customers receive the appropriate on-site support that aligns with
their allowed entitlements, and that customers are charged according
to their negotiated terms.
I'm trying to set up our software development company on Dynamics CRM 2016. I've customized almost everything I need such as accounts, leads and processes. However, It still feels that the CRM is designed for company with tangible products and shipping, etc...
Is there a way to setup Dynamics CRM for professional service company rather than product company?
This is not correct.
You can perform many actions that a professional service provider business model contains. For example, you can create and/or schedule:
Phone calls
Tasks
Appointments
Emails
You can also use marketing module for your services. Campaigns and quick campaigns.
You can gather leads, work upon those unqualified leads and convert them to opportunities.
You can also record invoices for your services as your products.
And so on ...
And the best part is that Microsoft has provided so many customization and development options in Dynamics CRM that you can almost use the XRM platform to just manage any type of relationship management. So, you can customize or even add new entities and relationships to suite your particular business needs.
One thing to keep in mind: First, always try to map your business requirements on the existing CRM processes so that you can take advantage of the out-of-the-box provided processes and reporting.
Update
The deployment/set up procedure for Dynamics CRM is same for all business domain. However, you may customize and extend Dynamics CRM, put those extensions and customizations in one or more solutions and then import those solutions over the target instances.
Update
You may override product price on quote (for example) by double clicking the product grid record on the quote form. See below image:
