Error Found in the Custom UI XML of "Microsoft Dynamics CRM"

I got this error during outlook offline in MS CRM 2011.Ribbons were working fine in the Online mode, whereas it failed to load in outlook offline.

Later on i came to know that main cause of the error was the duplication of the  CustomAction ID which I Just copied and paste for adding a custom button on some entities.

It was working for online because in online ID's are generated  on the fly whenever the ribbon loads.But It is not the case with Outlook offline.

It happens whenever we customize Home ribbon in MS CRM 2011 .

Please go through the following blog

Hope this helps.

Hiding Optionset (Picklist) values based on user role in MS CRM 2011

To achieve this let's assume we have a Optionset called "my_stage".Which has some values like
1)Won
2)Lost
3)Goal shared  etc.
Based on the user role I want to hide some Optionset value.Let assume user role does not allow him  to change the stage as 'Won'.So lets hide 'Won'  from Optionset.

Let's assume you want to hide it for "MyRoleName".

1.Optionset original values

2.Get current user Role using OData functions

  var roles = GetCurrentUserRoles();
    if (roles != null) {
        for (i = 0; i < roles.length; i++) {
                     
            if (roles[i] == "MyRoleName") {
                var PickListControl = Xrm.Page.getControl("my_stage");
// Provide the value of the Optionset item need to be hide 

//(7 for "Won" in my case) 
                PickListControl.removeOption(7);
            }
        }
    }

    function GetCurrentUserRoles()
     {
        var userRoleNamesArr = null;
        var CRMContext = GetContext();
    if (CRMContext != null) 
    {
        var currentuserid = CRMContext.getUserId();

        //Creating Odata Query
        var ODataSelect = "SystemUserSet(guid'" + currentuserid + "')/systemuserroles_association?$select=Name";
        var userrolenames = GetDataUsingODataServiceWithXmlHttp(ODataSelect);
        if (userrolenames != null && userrolenames.results.length > 0) 
        {
            userRoleNamesArr = new Array();
            for (var i = 0; i < userrolenames.results.length; i++)
                userRoleNamesArr[i] = userrolenames.results[i].Name;
        }
    }
    return userRoleNamesArr;
}

//Function to get the Context
   function GetContext() 
    {
    var _context = null;
    if (typeof GetGlobalContext != "undefined")
        _context = GetGlobalContext();
    else if (typeof Xrm != "undefined")
        _context = Xrm.Page.context;
    return _context
    }

// ========== OData Service - XML HTTP Request Functions Start ==========

    function GetDataUsingODataServiceWithXmlHttp(ODataSelect) {
    var resultOfGet = null;
    var CRMContext = GetContext();
    if (CRMContext != null)
     {
        var serverUrl = CRMContext.getServerUrl();
        var ODataEndpoint = "/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc";
        try {
            var ODataURL = serverUrl + ODataEndpoint + "/" + ODataSelect;
            var service = GetXMLHttpRequest();
            if (service != null) {
                service.open("GET", ODataURL, false);
                service.setRequestHeader("X-Requested-Width", "XMLHttpRequest");
                service.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json, text/javascript, */*");
                service.send(null);
                if (service.statusText == "OK")
                    resultOfGet = eval('(' + service.responseText + ')').d;
                else
                    DisplayError("ODataService", "Fetch", service.statusText);
            }
        }
        catch (e) 
        {
            DisplayError("ODataService", "Fetch", e.description);
            
        }
    }
    return resultOfGet;
}

 function GetXMLHttpRequest()
  {
    try {
        if (window.XMLHttpRequest) 
        {
            return new window.XMLHttpRequest;
        }
        else
         {
            try
         { 
              return new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP.3.0");
         }
            catch (ex) 
            {
                return null;
            }
        }
    } catch (e) 
    {
        DisplayError("XML Http request ", "Request", e.description);
    }
}
  function DisplayError(cntrl, func, err)
   {
    alert("Control : " + cntrl + "\n " + func + "\nError : " + err);
   }

//============== Javascript function End ================

Note :Use this javascript code on Form_onload event. It will hide the Optionset item "Won" for the role "MyRoleName". Optionset values after applying javascript.

Hope it will help You.

You are attempting to create a user with a domain logon that is already used by another user

Today when I was creating a new user for testing I got this 'You are attempting to create a user with a domain logon that is already used by another user.'


Let's I was creating 'crmtrainee'

Solution:

1) Connect to CRM 2011database

2) Query 'select fullname, firstname,lastname,domainname,isdisabled,isdisabledname from filteredsystemuser where domainname like '%crmtr%' '

3) Find the record check if it is disabled (isdisabled =1).

5)If record is disabled .Go to user select disable users view, Enable them.


It solved my problem :)

Hope it helps
