Common configuration settings for Internet Explorer
Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a web-based application and uses Internet Explorer as the user interface to view, add, or edit information that you’ve stored in the CRM database. Make the following common Internet Explorer configuration settings to optimize your CRM experience.
Increase concurrent download sessions
By default, Internet Explorer 7 and earlier versions limit the number of files that you can download at a time to two. Internet Explorer 8 limits the number of files that you can download at a time to six.
The Microsoft Dynamics CRM application synchronously requests data to and from the CRM data center. Typically, you can easily exhaust the number of concurrent downloads when you are using CRM. To increase this limit, review KB article 282402: How do I configure Internet Explorer to download more than two files at one time.
Increase disk space for temporary Internet files
To make sure that Internet files for Microsoft Dynamics CRM are not being deleted, increase the disk space for temporary Internet files.
1. Open Internet Explorer, and on the Tools menu, click or tap Internet Options.
2. On the General tab, in the Browsing history section, click or tap Settings.
3. Set the Disk space to use field to 350. The default value is 50.
4. Click or tap OK, and then click or tap OK again.
Retain browsing history
To optimize your CRM experience, we recommend that you do not select the option to delete the browsing history when you exit from your browser. If you select this option, it deletes everything marked in your Browsing history settings, such as temporary Internet files, cookies, and history (by default, the check boxes for these options are selected). Deleting your temporary Internet files causes Internet Explorer to cache the files again, and deleting cookies signs you out of CRM.
1. Open Internet Explorer, and on the Tools menu, click or tap Internet Options.
2. Click or tap the General tab, and in the Browsing history section, make sure that the Delete browsing history on exit check box is cleared.
