Help needed on CRM for Outlook client that constantly crashes

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello all:

I have one User who is experiencing sever Outlook issues.  His Outlook client will crash several times every day, whether opening an email, using Set Regarding, or even creating a meeting; it is not constantly crashing but does crash repeatedly.

Also, he will lose tracking within an email:  an email will have tracking, then a reply later in the thread will only show the "spinning dots" in the Microsoft Dynamics CRM window at the bottom; if he closes Outlook then, or it crashes, the windows itself disappears (like it is not being tracked).  Afterwards, if he tries to "re-Set Regarding" to that record on that email, he will get an error as in the screenshot.

Further, he has issues at times where the link in the "Regarding:" field in the email is blank.  This, too, can lead to the error in the screenshot.  In general, this is only one User (but a manager) and he seems to be the only user among 70 that I cannot solve...if I remove or even disable the CRM add-in, he doesn't have any crashes (running 2+ days solid vs. 5-7 crashes daily).

So far, I have tried everything short of a new PC:  delete & recreate the Exchange profile, uninstall/reinstall CRM for Outlook multiple times, etc., so I am looking for any help/guidance possible.  He has basically the same software installed as any other user in his Team, and they are not experiencing this.  Thanks in advance, and if I can clarify, please ask!

    Hi Rob, iv come across this for users before but it was because they has Cached Mode enabled on the Outlook client, which is no longer supported for CRM 2015. Can you please check  ?

    Also check out the compatibility Matrix support.microsoft.com/.../3018360

    If this helps you kindly answer by ticking 'Yes' to Verify :)

    Best Wishes, Raz

    Raz:

    I will check this user, but I noticed I had this enabled as well without those same issues.  I will see how this works.
