Published September 30, 2014
Estimated Reading Time: < 1 minuteRecently I ran across an issue getting my outlook 2013 CRM plug-in connecting to our Office 365 CRM instance. I ran through the typical solutions:
Repairing the CRM installation
Reinstalling the Windows Foundation 3.5 Windows feature
Downloading a different version of the CRM plugin
Entering in the URL for CRM manually
Choosing the CRM Online option for the URL
Reinstalling the sign-in assistant
Recreating my Windows profile
Recreating my Outlook Profile
Running through the CRM troubleshooting tool
Checking my time zone information
Ensured my account in CRM was setup correctly
I can keep going…
I changed my password and removed the @ character. Once I changed my password to a different special character, everything worked well. This character did work for me the past and I was always able to authenticate, so I’ll be doing some testing to see if it was the simple act of changing the password on-prem (dir-sync’s to O365) that did the trick.
