We always did it this way, which did work!<br /> Backup everything (Just to be safe!)<br /> Removed CRM4, but did nothing to the SQL databases.<br /> Reinstalled CRM4, creating a dummy organization, with a different name to the one we want.</p> <p>Once CRM4 is installed, open Deployment Manager<br /> Click on Orgnizations, then click import. At this point you can point to the SQL database with your organization in it.<br /> This will put your organization into CRM.<br /> There is also a know bug with this, to do with workflow. Have a look here. <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950680/en-us" rel="nofollow">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950680/en-us</a></p> <p>Hope you manage to resolve your issue<br /> Rob </p> http://forum.crmreports.com/topic/keep-user-data-upon-reinstalling-crm-40#post-1624 Wed, 03 Sep 2008 19:13:46 +0000 UG Bot 1624@http://forum.crmreports.com/ <p><em>Newsgroup subject: Re: Reinstalling CRM 4.0 but preserving data - HELP, PLEASE!<br /> Archived from: microsoft.public.crm<br /> Author: Aamir Bashir</em></p> <p>Edward<br /> Might be someone has other saying but i always use the way you described.

We've looked at all the obvious candidates (the Async Service, for example) and have tried the various fixes (more information here; <a href="http://www.themssforum.com/Crm/Workflows-Waiting/" rel="nofollow">http://www.themssforum.com/Crm/Workflows-Waiting/</a>)</p> <p>We're now at the stage of considering reinstalling CRM 4.0. However, we have migrated a large amount of data from our CRM 3.0 installation. Can we safely backup the existing CRM 4.0 databases, reinstall the software, and then restore the CRM 4.0 databases? Or is there a better way?</p> <p>Thanks<br /> Edward </p>
