Posted on by 115

Hi

I am trying to connect xrm toolbox to a dynamics 365 environment.

This is from a machine that i can successfully connect to  in a browser - without MFA

in XRM toolbox i select new connection, then connection wizard, them enter

organization url = https://{myenv}.crm11.dynamics.com

Leave the box for use your current credentials unticked, change the service timeout to 30 mins, next

username = my username = fred.bloggs@domaoin.com

Password = my password

Press next - it says "trying to connect to your common data service environment" - then connection failed

There area number of errors in the log file including 

Error : Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 

inner exception level 1 : Error - Unable to connect to the remote server

Inner Exception Level 2 : Error  : A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 51.104.248.11:443

And then

    Hi gregbooth2,

    As you mentioned, you can't connect xrm toolbox to the dynamics 365 environment through Connection Wizard.

    So you can try to use other connection ways instead of the earlier Connection Wizard connections which seemed to stop working.

    Connecting to an environment Â· XrmToolBox

    1.SDK Login Control and next Office 365 sign-in.

    After clicking 'Login' button, then you can connect it successfully.
