I'm able to get the script to start and run through the views, but when it reaches the end and starts to write out the list of the top 10... it fails.
Initially I found that it was a typo in the library ("verobse" instead of "verbose") - but after correcting that now I get:

Hi !

I tried to use "CRM Online - North America" and "North America" as deployment region, it always searches all regions .

Is this a bug ?

It will be great to have an example of how we could archive attachments to azure storage in CRM online and store a link in Notes. (we have this program written in C# but could be a great example in powershell)

Please provide example for save and publish JavaScript Web Resource from file into specified solution.
Thanks!

Hi
How can you close an open opportunity to WON / Lost?

Any thoughts on how we could run a bulk duplicate deletion job using powershell with a predefined view. The idea is to export all duplicate contacts in a csv file, so it can be investigated further in a spreadsheet.

On a similar note, any thoughts on retrieving a multi-page view result from powershell. Get-CrmRecordsByViewName only returns the first 5000 results. It will be great to retrieve the entire result set 99,999

Are there any scripts to increase Solution version number using Powershell ?
Any pointer to some of these scripts will be helpful.

Dan.

Over time any entity in CRM has unused fields.

It will be great if we can have an example of how to find such fields.

I found this on the internet but it would be great to have this in powershell instead.

Tried to use Remove-CRMRecord to delete activities but got a error message as below

Remove-CrmRecord -conn $conn -EntityLogicalName activitypointer -Id 5e24fedb-a052-e511-8103-c4346bad2660

The 'Delete' method does not support entities of type 'activitypointer'.

Hello,

It would be great if we could get a command which would retrieve a dynamic marketing list and its constituents. In other words execute the fetchxml query stored in a dynamic marketing list.

Hello,

It would be great to get a list of all CRMUserSettings for a particular property. example, incomingemailfilteringmethod

The use case is to retrieve a list of all user settings for "incomingemailfilteringmethod"
Once a review is done, we need the ability to set "incomingemailfilteringmethod" to "Email messages from CRM Leads, Contacts and Accounts"

-Venkat

it will be great if we can get samples of how each command could be used.
For instance, how to retrieve records using FetchXML (or) specify filtercriteria in powershell command
How to access individual record in the resultset
How to page across pages in the resultset

Here is an example of my own contribution, where I wrote a simple script which would take a csv file of contactId's and mark them inactive. Hope it is of help.

Ensure CRM 2015 sdk and Microsoft.Xrm.Data.PowerShell are installed

Ensure $conn is populated by logging in using example provided here

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

Import-Module Microsoft.Xrm.Data.PowerShell

$global:conn = Get-CrmConnection -InteractiveMode

$contactList=Import-CSV .\contact_dupes.csv
ForEACH ($Contact in $contactList) {
$contactid = $contact.contactId

$contactid="449104b5-1ed0-e411-80e7-c4346bac7958"

Retrieve CRM Record

$contactrecord = Get-CrmRecord -conn $conn -EntityLogicalName contact -id $contactid -Fields firstname,statecode

set the status code to be inactive

$contactrecord.statecode=1

Update CRM Record

echo $contactid
Set-CrmRecord -conn $conn -CrmRecord $contactrecord
}

Hello!
I faced with a problem using Import-CrmSolution:
Solution size is 1.5 Mb, and import via CRM gui usually takes 2-3 minutes. but using the code I have next exeption:

At the same time solution was imported to CRM.
The code (run via jenkins) is:
Param (
[Parameter(Mandatory=$True)]
[string]$TargetServer,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$True)]
[string]$organizationName2
)
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
try {
$conn2 = Get-CrmConnection -OrganizationName $organizationName2 -ServerUrl $targetServer -Credential $cred2 -MaxCrmConnectionTimeOutMinutes 60 -ErrorAction Stop -Verbose
}
catch {
write-output $Error[0].Exception
}
try {
Import-CrmSolution -conn $conn2 -SolutionFilePath $env:importedSolution -OverwriteUnManagedCustomization -ErrorAction Stop -Verbose
}
catch {
write-output $Error[0].Exception
}
Exit $LastExitCode

Could you please give an advise how to handle a moment than solution import was finished and end the script successfully? I have tried different timeouts, it doesn't work.

'Import-CrmSolutionAsync' is working well, but is not good for this case because I'd like to get detailed error message if import is failed

Thank you in advance!

It will be great to get the top 10 entities by storage space used
This will help identify data management/maintenance tasks.

In response, it will be great to see entity name, space used, record count

I am trying to use Set-CRMMailbox but couldn't figure out.
After enabling the mailbox thru Portal, when I check with Get-CRMMailbox -userID, I see EnabledForOutgoingEmail , EnabledForIncomingEmail, EnabledForACT, OutgoingEmailStatus, ACTStatus & IncomingEmailStatus attributes are getting set as Yes or Success.

I am new to XRM Powershell.
I am trying to update Organization Information like Strategic Business Unit, Global Business Line, Legacy Division, Region,
Country for bulk users.

So, far I am able to update business unit using below

#Get all business Unit and store it in variable
$businessUnit = Get-CrmRecords -EntityLogicalName businessunit -FilterAttribute name -FilterOperator eq -FilterValue 'abc' -Fields businessunitid
$businessUnitId = $businessUnit.CrmRecords[0].businessunitid.Guid

#Set the system user business unit
Set-CrmRecord -EntityLogicalName systemuser `
-id $systemId -Fields @{ "businessunitid"=(New-CrmEntityReference -EntityLogicalName systemuser -Id $businessUnitId)}

How can I update Organization Information like Strategic Business Unit, Global Business Line in similar way?
Any help is appreciated.

If I use this code snippet in our Continous Release process the Powershell throws an error if the process takes longer than 5 Minutes. In the background the process is still running in Dynamics and completes after a while.

Any idea why the Script throws an error after exactly 5 Minutes. Timeouts are set to 15 Minutes.

Hi,

Is there any way to create an entity using this module
I know you can create a new solution using the below:

$UniqueName = Read-Host "Name Of New Solution"
$PublisherID = "----"
$Publisher = New-CrmEntityReference -entitylogicalname publisher -id $PublisherID
$Version = "1.0"

$Entity = New-CrmRecord -EntityLogicalName solution -fields @{friendlyname = $uniquename; uniquename = $uniquename;
publisherid = $publisher;`
version = $version}

But cannot fathom how you could create an entity within a solution

Hello,

Is there currently a way to use the XRM Powershell to create Document Locations within Sharepoint Online? I can create the sharepoint location and the docs but need to be able to create the location in Dynamics at the same time.

Thanks,
Dave

Do you have an example of how to activate a workflow? Either by name or id.

Hi all!
I've tried to enable disabled users, and I've faced the issue I could'n change property "isdisabled" for systemuser entity.
I can enable user in the web, but I couldn't do it in the script. Also I found out that "IsValidForUpdate" is "False" for field "isdisabled" in the systemuser entity.
So, my question is:
How could I change user's state from enable to disable and back, using powershell?

It will be great to have a powershell script which can return the status of the server side synchronization.

In particular the error logs on failures

Hi,
I'm writing to understand what could have caused the below issue while importing data. I'm using configuration migration tool module powershell crm commands i.e. import-crmdatafile to push data.

#import configuration migration powershell module
- powershell: |
Install-Module -Name Microsoft.Xrm.Data.Powershell -RequiredVersion 2.8.14 -Force -Scope CurrentUser
Install-Module -Name Microsoft.Xrm.Tooling.ConfigurationMigration -RequiredVersion 1.0.0.64 -Force -AllowClobber -Verbose
displayName: 'Install XRM Modules'

#importdata
- powershell: |
$conn = Get-CrmConnection -ConnectionString "$(ConnectionString)"
$importParams = @{
CrmConnection = $conn
DataFile = "$data.zip"
ConcurrentThreads = "2"
}
Import-CrmDataFile @importParams -EmitLogToConsole -Verbose -ErrorAction Stop
displayName: 'Import data.zip'
timeoutInMinutes: 180

ERROR
Error : The request channel timed out while waiting for a reply after 00:02:00. Increase the timeout value passed to the call to Request or increase the SendTimeout value on the Binding. The time allotted to this operation may have been a portion of a longer timeout.

Data.zip file doesn't have any huge data, it is just 2 records and interestingly this is importing the records but failing to associate the relationship N:N. This happened in our PRD environment and has had no issues in other downstream environments.

PLEASE HELP!

In Dynamics 365 instances that were updated to v9, Export-CrmSolution does not work any more.
It throws the error "Solution with name x in CRM Instance: y not found!", although the solutions are installed an can be exported manually.

The cmdlet still works in instances where identical solutions are installed, but that are not yet updated to v8.2.

A fix would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm getting an error when I try to export from a 2013 OnPrem. The error says that "ExportSales" is not supported. It works fine when I manually skip this line in the Microsoft.Xrm.Data.PowerShell.psm1 file.

$exportRequest.ExportSales =$ExportSales

The version of CRM said 6.1.x in the debugger, so perhaps a quick check of the version before setting this property would solve the problem?
