After you have restored the back up to the SQL server being used by the new CRM application what you need to do is to run the Import Organization wizard which is on the right hand side of the Deployment Manager MMC.

Hello,

Here are the steps to make this possible:

community.dynamics.com/.../migrating-from-microsoft-dynamics-crm-4-to-microsoft-dynamics-crm-2011.aspx

These steps also work for a CRM 2011 to CRM 2011 migration.

Good Luck!

Cloning of the Servers like this is not supported. What is supported is to do a new CRM 2011 Installation first and verify that you can open and access the test organization without any issue. also verify that there is no issue while opening the deployment manager for this newly installed CRM 2011 Server before doing the next action. Once verified you may restore the .bak file of the database and do the import Org. Please refer the CRM IG for steps

Thanks,

Mohammad

Noor,

If you are unable to open the Deployment Manager, it could be a connectivity issue between the CRM Server and Ad or to the SQL server

If you are able to open the CRM server and once you are clicking on Import organization immediately it is failing you need to look into the dmsanpin logs

If the import Wizard is coming up but at the point when it is selecting the ORG_MSCRm restored database from the SQL server, then it is gain some thing we need to look into the connection from the CRM to SQL

Can you tell me when it is actully crashing ?

Thanks,

Mohammad

Hi noor,

If I am not mistaken, you are not allowed to restore MSCRM_CONFIG this way. It should come when you install CRM to the server and you may get the <Organization>_MSCRM later on to run import wizard.

Hi Sumedha,

i think i need to re-install back the SQL right. Actually i follow below step: support.microsoft.com/default.aspx

1.Back up the Organization_MSCRM database and the MSCRM_Config database. To do this, follow these steps: a.On the computer that is running SQL Server, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, and then click SQL Server Management Studio.

b.Expand Databases, right-click the Organization_MSCRM database, point to Tasks, and then click Back Up.

c.Under Destination, add the location to save the backup file, and then click OK.

d.Repeat steps 1b and 1c for the MSCRM_Config database.

Note If you must move more than one organization, repeat steps 1a-1d for each organization database.

2.Restore the Organization_MSCRM database and the MSCRM_Config database on the new computer that is running SQL Server. To do this, follow these steps:a.On the new computer, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, and then click SQL Server Management Studio.

b.Right-click Databases, and then click Restore Database.

c.Under Destination to restore, type the name of the Organization_MSCRM database in the To database box.

d.Under Source for restore, click From device, click the ellipsis button (...), add the Organization_MSCRM database, and then click OK.

e.Click to select the Restore check box, and then click OK.

f.Repeat steps 2b-2e for the MSCRM_Config database.
