I'm trying to install CRM 2015 in the following infrastructure:
- CRM resides on server 1
- SQL database resides on server 2
- Active Directory (AD) resides on server 3
I am loosely following this guide, however, it doesn't take into account connectivity between multiple servers.
- I have set up the active directory with its server configured as the domain controller, as per the guide.
- All 3 servers have joined the same domain.
- I've installed the SQL Server software and attempting to install the CRM using the Administrator user that was created by default in the AD.
- SQL Server (with reporting) is installed as per the instructions in the guide.
CRM is having problems with installation. Specifically, it can't detect that the SQLSERVERAGENT service is running and it can't connect to the remote SQL reporting server.
This seems like a basic 3, and likely close to best practice, server configuration for the CRM components, but I haven't found any detailed guides for this particular structure. Specifically guides that include the permission and networking steps.
Are there any guides that you know of that would help me with the connectivity aspect for this installation?
This piece of info may change the requirements a bit: I'm trying to install these servers on AWS as separate instances.
I did find this article on required ports, but I did try a Windows Firewall and AWS Security Group configuration that allowed all ports, and the problems I've mentioned were not resolved.
