Microsoft Business Solutions CRM contact records are not created as Microsoft Outlook Contacts
When one or more of the following are true, Microsoft® CRM contact records are not created as Microsoft Outlook® contacts:
- A custom field is added to the contact schema in the Microsoft CRM server.
- A person who is using the Microsoft CRM Sales for Outlook (the Outlook client) goes offline and chooses to synchronize all business unit information with the Microsoft CRM server.
Additionally, all contact records are still viewable in the Active Contacts view. Subsequent attempts to go offline will synchronize additional contact records. However, the contact records that should have been synchronized the first time remain unsynchronized.
Microsoft Business Solutions CRM has a fix for this problem. The fix is part of a cumulative update. For information about the cumulative update, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Microsoft Business Solutions CRM Update
Outlook contacts that are not created during synchronization can also include the contacts that are created by other Microsoft CRM users by using the Outlook client or by using the Web application. This update prevents this problem from occurring or from recurring. However, this update does not synchronize contacts that were not synchronized before installing the update.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Business Solutions CRM Sales for Outlook, when used with:
- Microsoft Business Solutions CRM 1.0
- Microsoft Business Solutions CRM 1.0
Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
