I'm a newbie about performance testing and I need to make a performance test on MS CRM 2016. But I need some baseline numbers to make comparison. There should be some acceptable numbers by the industry. For example; what should be the max CPU usage of a CRM server or database server etc. In fact, these number don't have to be directly related to CRM. It's a website anyway. I googled many things and times but I couldn't find any complete information. Does anyone have such information or guide me to find anything about it? Thank you.
Your best starting point for Dynamics CRM is the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 White Papers & Technical Documentation and particularly a white paper named Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 and Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2016 Performance and Scalability Documentation.

Please let me know that how to get started and deploy application with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Higher Education Accelerator.
I searched a lot but confuse how to start with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Higher Education Accelerator.
You need Dynamics CRM instance and then you can install it as solution.

Or you can use test drive that will give you access to CRM with the solution installed.
Here is the documentation

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.
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:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40341
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:
http://demobuilder.cloudapp.net/unauthenticated-home/#
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.

hi every now i would like to learn one cource.i think to learn any CRM cource that i seither SIEBEL CRM or DYNAMIC CRM but which one is better to learn and in which one jobs r good .plz could some plz suggest me .thanks
From a personal experience using vtiger CRM and Siebel CRM and Dynamics, i see that Dynamics CRM can be the most appropriate CRM to learn and to consider it a starting point in your Career.
MS Dynamics CRM is properly supported by Microsoft and most of the Corporations would prefer going through Dynamics since in a simple Quality/Price Ratio, Dynamics always wins against all other Popular CRM solution specially SAP CRM and Siebel CRM
Close your eyes and go Directly through Dynamics !
Oracle has a 16% marketshare, Microsoft's is less than 3-4%, but I feel like Microsoft is poised to gain in the CRM market, since their Dynamics suite continues to mature and seems to have a lot of investment. If you learn Siebel you're going to be dealing primarily with large companies, while Dynamics will likely be medium to small businesses. This question comes down mostly to geography and skills, if you live in the USA and know .NET and MS SQL, I'd say go dynamics, otherwise I might lean towards Siebel.
dynamics crm from microsoft would be easier
Microsoft CRM has better native out of the box integration with the Microsoft Office line of products. If a company is aligned with Microsoft products (Outlook, Word, Excel), it will be much less expensive for them to implement Microsoft CRM in the long run. Other CRM vendors have integrations with the products but it is not at a native level. CRM implementations are wrought with failure, with a big factor to that being that users can't use the product efficiently. Since Microsoft CRM has all of these built-in integrations, it has a one-up in user adoption on its competitors. It has a great model for CRM with out of the box modules for Sales, Service, and Marketing, along with a extensible database model that can be configured by any power user (with a little bit of training). Microsoft is very dedicated to the product and releases quarterly update rollups and comes out with a major release about ever 2 to 3 years. Microsoft CRM offers companies the ability to have their CRM hosted with Microsoft, hosted with a partner, or on-premise, whereas many of the other vendors only offer a cloud or on-premise option, but not both. I've been working with a Dynamics CRM partner for about 4 years and the job market for Microsoft CRM (and most Microsoft technologies) has been very good in my experience.
I have gone through all the msdn stuff for getting started with the SDK for Microsoft CRM 4.
I am trying to find any other basic examples / blog posts about implementing the SDK for MS CRM4. Does anyone know of some blogs that cover this?
You'd do well to check out the Microsoft CRM SDK over at MSDN. You could also browse the google groups, or check out sites to well known CRM MVPs.
Best advice, however, is to just start fooling around with it. It's very intuitive once you understand the process of getting things done.
I was in your shoes a while back, and I started by thinking of a "mini project" and doing it. It will force you to find out more about CRM and you'll gain "practical experience".
How about getting a book - Working with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 and working through some exercises there?
