Configuring Organization for MS Dynamics CRM 2016 keeps failing

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 35

Hi all,

we upgraded to MS CRM 2016 last week and we keep getting an error message when trying to configure the organization for MS Dynamics CRM 2016 Outlook:

 outlookConnector2016_5F00_errorI.pngoutlookConnector2016_5F00_errorII.png

We have started debugging the error with the diagnostics tool and found this error:

10:39:53|  Error| Exception : Cannot open Sql Encryption Symmetric Key because Symmetric Key password does not exist in Config DB.    at Microsoft.Crm.Application.SMWrappers.CrmServiceForOutlook.Execute(OrganizationRequest request, Boolean wrapException)

   at Microsoft.Crm.Application.SMWrappers.OutlookSubscription.IsPrimaryOnlineClient(String clientId)

   at Microsoft.Crm.Application.SMWrappers.OnlineSyncStrategy.IsPrimaryClient(String id)

   at Microsoft.Crm.Application.Outlook.Config.PrimaryConfigurator.SetPrimaryOrg(ServerInfo serverInfo)

   at Microsoft.Crm.Application.Outlook.Config.PrimaryConfigurator.SetContextValues()

   at Microsoft.Crm.Application.Outlook.Config.PrimaryConfigurator.Configure(IProgressEventHandler progressEventHandler)

   at Microsoft.Crm.Application.Outlook.Config.ConfigEngine.Configure(Object stateInfo)

 

When checking the key in MS CRM, the key is active:

outlookConnector2016_5F00_encryptionKey_5F00_.png

Any suggestion on how to proceed ?

Thanks

Carina

    I had made a reply to your original post but was not aware it was already resolved. Good job....

    In the meantime we found the reason for the error. The organisation showed status "failed" after the upgrade organisation.png which we overlooked in the beginning.

    We removed and reimported the organisation (https://community.dynamics.com/crm/f/117/t/71195). The configuration of the organisation in the Outlook client worked fine afterwards.

    Hi Nithin,

    We've also checked on that one but configuration looks correct and since the problem only occures for certain users, I don't assume the error to be a CRM configuration issue.

    Thanks

    Thanks Karsten, we've seen that article already and it doesn't fix our problem.

    We use https and did point 2 and 3 right after the upgrade.

    We have found out that it works for some users and for some not.
