CRM/Sharepoint Integration 2016 On-prem

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I'm looking at doing a wholesale side by side upgrade for a client to CRM and Sharepoint 2016.

They are understandably looking for this to be load balanced both for performance and resilience.

On working through this, it appears that it's not possible, as it stands to load balance Sharepoint 2016 if it's integrated with CRM.

In the technet documentation (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn949332.aspx) there is a line

for the Server side implementation:

SharePoint must be configured for a single farm deployment only.

And for Sharepoint 2016

the CRM list component no longer is available.

So the question is this.  Am I being dense or has the ability to load balance Sharepoint with CRM....been removed?

Hopefully it's my misunderstanding as otherwise it is not going to be a good conversation explaining this to the client.

    Hi,

    When you load balance sharepoint you need multiple front end servers - not multiple farms so there is no restriction on load balancing with CRM integration. The Single farm deployment restriction is to do with the server to server authentication requirements. For the different combinations of OnPrem/Online configurations supported see - technet.microsoft.com/.../dn531154.aspx

    The reason that the list component is no longer supported is because of the sandbox host deprecation - server to server integration replaces this - see technet.microsoft.com/.../dn792527.aspx

    Hope this answers your question?

    Hi Scott, 

    Thanks for responding to this.

    I'd misread 'Single farm' deployment to be the MinRole 'Single Server Farm'
