CRM 2013 on premise, Office365 email and Server-side sync

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 321

Hello All,

Trying to configure CRM 2013 server side sync to work with office365 and not having any luck. Hoping somebody else can either confirm this works (and perhaps compare my settings) or tell me if what I want to do is not possible.

The idea is to have CRM send out emails without needing the router/outlook running, which is my understanding of what Server Side Sync is supposed to do.

First, I created a user on Office365, to whom I granted the ApplicationImpersonate and MailboxSearchImpersonate roles. This is the user account I'm then using below (username/password)

I have created an email server profile in CRM. Server type is Exchange, autodiscover is on, Authenticate Using is set to "Credentials specified in Email Server Profile". The username and password are working with Office365. Use Impersonation is "yes". "Use same settings for Outgoing" is set to Yes.

I have set up a Mailbox for myself using my email address, "Is Forward Mailbox" is set to No, "Allow to use Credentials for Email Processing" is set to No, Server profile is the one I created above (the only one created), and Incoming EMail and  Outgoign Email are both set to "Server-side synchronization of Email Router".

I then click "Test & Enable Mailbox", and a short while later I get an error

"The mailbox location could not be determined while sending the email message "Test Message" through the mailbox <MailboxName>."

What is this message attempting to tell me? I've re-entered the username and password just to be sure, and have confirmed I can login to Office365 using the username/password combination.

What can I do to get more details on why it's failing as this message doesn't help a whole lot.

Any assistance is appreciated. It seems this shouldn't be difficult but it's eluding me...

Thanks

Garrett

    Thanks Pradeep,

    The article you linked is for on-premise Exchange, and I'm trying to make this work with Office365. I've already been through the relevant steps in that document and haven't had any success. Anything else you can think of?

    CRM On-premise and Exchange Online is not a supported configuration yet.

    Server-side synchronization doesn’t support the following scenarios:

    Hybrid deployments:

    Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online with Exchange (on-premises)

    Microsoft Dynamics CRM (on-premises) with Exchange Online

    Mix of Exchange/SMTP and POP3/Exchange

    Creation of mass email marketing campaigns

    Extensibility scenarios like extending EWS/POP3/SMTP protocols and creating custom email providers

    Exchange Server 2003 and Exchange Server 2007

    Server-side synchronization in Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online, or in a Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 (on premises) deployment that is configured for FIPS 140-2 compliancy, requires a POP3/SMTP email server that is also FIPS 140-2 compliant. Some email servers are not FIPS 140-2 compliant, such as MSN, Outlook.com, or Windows Live Mail.

    You can refer to the Implementation Guide for CRM 2013

    Hi Garrett - did you get an answer on this. I can confirm I have the same issue. CRM online trial, coupled with Office 365 Exchange Online.... email boxes can't be enabled, exact same description as above.

    This is the 2nd trial I've set up, and both suffered the same problem.

    Anyone know what the answer is? Please don't send links to exchange on premise solutions :)
