Hello people,

We have started with Dynamics and have a test&production instance. Which is the best way to work with solutions and deployments, what are your best practices, and tips&trix?

I was thinking about having an unmanaged solution in Test where i do the customizations and then importing it to production? is that the right way? And when doing new things i can just use the same solution. If we have partners who work with our enviroment, should they have their own prefix and solution?

What are your strategies to have a really smooth process of deployments and maintence of solutions in Dynamics CRM?

Thankful for feedback :)

For me solution patch should be good idea if you really want to deliver managed solution in prod instance. If you have only one environment for TEST and DEV so keep all customization in one solutions and by default all components will be unmanaged.

Managed and unmanaged solution both have advantages and disadvantages but remember managed solution is good when you completed your development and want to deliver it to production.

I suggest to read below article before make the decision.

I dont see any reason to have multiple prefix if you are working in same project and maintain proper documentation , you can always create different prefix if you really need to differentiate solutions component .

Hi,

To follow a clean path of development and deployment, I suggest you review this -

Hopefully this will get you started. And then you can scale up implementations in sprints
