CRM 4.0 supported AD levels?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Jay26Cee 35

We are in the process of planning a migration away from SBS 2008, to 2016 Server (and 2016 Active Directory).

When checking the CRM 4.0 support for AD, I can across...

"Active Directory modes

[Applies to: Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0]

The computer on which Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 is running must be a domain member in a domain that is running in one of the following Active Directory modes:

  • Windows 2000 Mixed
  • Windows 2000 Native
  • Windows Server 2003 Native
  • Windows Server 2003 Interim
  • All Windows Server 2008 Modes

    Important

    • The computer on which Microsoft Dynamics CRM is running cannot function as an Active Directory domain controller, unless it is running Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003 Premium Edition R2.
    • When you install Microsoft Dynamics CRM in a Windows 2000 Mixed-mode domain, you cannot add users to Microsoft Dynamics CRM that are located in a different domain.
    • Installing Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server in a domain that is running in Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) is not supported." 

... on https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd979168.aspx.

Does this confirm that 2016 AD is acceptable provided it is running in 2008 Domain Functional Level and 2008 Forest Functional Level?

JC
