Introduction
Microsoft Dynamics CRM requires several steps of preparation and execution. Below are the necessary components that should make up your preparation checklist.
Verify prerequisites before you install Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server. You should understand the following:
- Microsoft SQL Server can be, but is not required to be, installed on the same computer as Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server.
- If Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server and Microsoft SQL Server are installed on different computers, both computers must be in the same Active Directory directory service domain.
- Microsoft SQL Server can be installed by using either Windows Authentication or mixed-mode authentication. (Windows Authentication is recommended for increased security. Microsoft Dynamics CRM will use only Windows Authentication).
- The service account that SQL Server uses to log on to the network must be either a domain user account (recommended) or one of the built-in system accounts supported by SQL Server (Network Service, Local Service, or Local System). Installation of Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server will fail if the SQL Server service account is the local administrator. Installation of Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server will fail if the SQL Server service account is the local administrator.
- The SQL Server service must be started and can be configured to automatically start when the computer is started.
- The Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services service must be started and configured to automatically start when the computer is started.
- The SQL Server Agent service must be started. This service can be configured to automatically start when the computer is started.
- Although it is optional, we recommend that you accept the SQL Server default settings for Collation Designator, Sort Order, and SQL Collation. Microsoft Dynamics CRM supports both case-sensitive and case-insensitive sort orders.
- Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server Setup requires at least one network protocol to be enabled to authenticate by using SQL Server. By default, TCP/IP protocol is enabled when you install SQL Server. You can view network protocols in SQL Server Configuration Manager.
