Hello Team,
We want to migrate the On-Premise Dynamics CRM 2011 to Azure (Not online).
I read the Microsoft Article regarding End of Support of Dynamics CRM 2011.
Also i read the article that it is not possible to migrate On-premise Dynamics CRM 2011 to online.
Before migrating On-Premise Dynamics CRM 2011 to online it need to upgrade On-Premise 2011 ⇒ 2013 ⇒ 2015 or 2016 then On-Premise Dynamics 365 CRM then it will be migrate to Dynamics 365 Online.
Request you to please let us how to plan the migration of Dynamics CRM 2011 to Azure.
Thank you in Advance.
Regards,
Kishor
Hello Pravin,
Thank you for your response.
I understood.
Hello Kishore,
Currently it is possible to migrate CRM on-prem 2011 to online through the OP2OL process. We will take care of upgrading your 2011 Org all the way to CRM 9.0 on-prem and then to online.
However, we do not have any documentation or link to share to migrate your CRM on-prem 2011 to Azure VM.
Thanks,
Pravin Kumar
Hello Jayme,
Thank you for your response.
I understood above but i would like to share with you that we have setup the Dynamics CRM 2011 in On-Premise Server and we want to move this environment from On-Premise server to Azure VM.
We want to install and build Dynamics CRM 2011 environment on Azure VM from scratch then restore the Database and migrate data.
It will be very helpful if you could share me a Guide or link to plan migration of Dynamics CRM 2011 from On-Premise servers to Azure VM.
Thank you in advance.
You are correct that we have reached end of support for Dynamics CRM 2011. When you refer to "Azure (Not online)", you seem to be referring to On-Premise Dynamics CRM 2011 within Azure VM's. Moving to a virtualized environment within Azure is not a big deal since you are just moving On-premise to On-premise virtualized. There is no significant change needed there and no tool needed for this activity. Just simply export the org, and import the org in your CRM on premise environment you previously setup in Azure.
Doing this, however, means you lose out on many of the benefits of being online.
Moving online is different. To move online, the nature of the environment changes from a hosted model to a SAAS model, which is why Microsoft offers a tool called OP2OL to assist with this process. Currently this tool still supports CRM 2011 migrations but that will likely change soon. If you wish to consider the move to online, you will want to plan to do it soon. Alternatively, you could upgrade to a later version of CRM on premise, such as 2013 prior to migration to either online or Azure since 2013 and later remains supported.
Also, to your point about upgrading through the versions, this is one of the things that the OP2OL does. It performs technical upgrades on your org through the various versions that you mentioned to get to version 9.0 on premise, before it achieves a compatible database format that can be brought into online. When you use the tool, typically you do not have to worry about doing these upgrades since the tool takes care of it for you.
