Posted on by 2,645

How can I stop the QUID from showing up when I am creating a new document location?

    One more thing that I am wondering...why is the "Parent site or Location" field blank by default?  When I look at my other environments it has Default Site Collection listed as the default.  In production environment it is blank.  Any help is appreciated.  Thank you.

    This looks like it is for CRM 365. I am still on 2016.  If I apply this update will that automatically move me to 365?  I don't want that to happen.  I also, didn't have the GUID showing up last month, and nothing has changed in my CRM environment.

    By the way, it is recommended to have Guid in the name as it will ensure the uniqueness of the folders, otherwise you may end up storing documents in the wrong folder location if the name is same.

    Hi,

    I haven't tried this but looks like the tools is now pert of the Cumulative updates. Check Below. Basically, you need to go to the download update page (www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspx), from there click download and select the last file which would be CRMXXX-Tools-KBXXXXXX-ENU-amd64.exe and then follow the steps mentioned in the below article.

    Hope this helps.

    I tried going to archive.codeplex.com and downloading but that isn't working.
