Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if there is a way to change my organization ID?

    As mentioned before, it is an unsupported modification of the CRM database. So basically any CRM environment that has unsupported changes will loose support from Microsoft if they find it out or know about it. You could try this script for a test or dev environement but for your production environment I would never do this kind of change. If the script will work with CRM 2016 SP1 I cannot tell, it would be something you need to try.

    Hi Andreas,

    Thanks for the quick answer! I forgot to mention that I'm using CRM 2016 SP1 On Premise.

    And could you please explain what you mean when you're saying that I don't have to use this instance for development or production environments?

    To do this kind of action is an UNSUPPORTED change of your CRM database an is not advised to do so.

    But there is an old thread with an SQL script that might work depedending on which version you are on.

    If you do apply this script you should never use this CRM instance for development or production environments.
