Below info assumes the all Server roles are installed on the same server .

There are two option we can follow for installing Microsoft dynamics CRM

  1. If System admin team refuse request to give Read , write permission on Organization Unit (OU) : Pre-create Active directory security group and use those while installing Microsoft dynamics CRM
  2. Setup program creates the Active Directory security groups when you install Microsoft Dynamics CRM

    • To log on, use a user account that has the necessary rights.
    • Manually add the users and the computers to the appropriate security groups.
  6. To use the pre-created Active Directory security groups, create a configuration file to point to Microsoft Dynamics CRM. To do this, create an XML configuration file that uses the syntax that is in the following example. Modify the variables as appropriate. The list that follows the sample code describes how to modify the variables that are in this example.In the following sample code, the XML file is named Config_precreate.xml. The domain name is microsoft.com. These names represent the actual names that you use. The Active Directory hierarchy is as follows:
    • root domain
      • Company Name OU
        • Company Name OU

    Sample code


    <CRMSetup>
   <Server>
        <Groups AutoGroupManagementOff="true">
            <PrivUserGroup>CN=PrivUserGroup,OU=Company Name,OU=Company Name,DC=<domain>,DC=<domain_extension></PrivUserGroup>
          <SQLAccessGroup>CN=SQLAccessGroup,OU=Company Name,OU=Company Name, DC=<domain>,DC=<domain_extension></SQLAccessGroup>
            <UserGroup>CN=UserGroup,OU=Company Name,OU=Company Name,DC=<domain>,DC=<domain_extension></UserGroup>
            <ReportingGroup>CN=ReportingGroup,OU=Company Name,OU=Company Name, DC=<domain>,DC=<domain_extension></ReportingGroup>
 <PrivReportingGroup>CN=PrivReportingGroup,OU=Company Name,OU=Company Name, DC=<domain>,DC=<domain_extension></PrivReportingGroup>
  </Groups>
    </Server>
</CRMSetup>

    Modify the parameters in the example by using the following replacement values:

    • PrivUserGroup: The name of the PrivUserGroup security group
    • SQLAccessGroup: The name of the SQLAccessGroup security group
    • UserGroup: The name of the UserGroup security group
    • ReportingGroup: The name of the ReportingGroup security group
    • PrivReportingGroup: The name of the ReportingGroup security group
    • domain: The domain name
    • domain_extension: The domain extension

    Note For more information about all the configuration file parameters and samples, see the implementation guide.

  7. Run the Microsoft Dynamics CRM server installation. To do this, click Start, click Run, type C:ServerSetup.exe /config C:configprecreate.xml in the Open box, and then click OK.Notes
    • “C:ServerSetup.exe” refers to the path of the ServerSetup.exe file on the installation medium.
    • “C:configprecreate.xml” refers to the name and the path of the configuration file that was created.
Now need to set AutoGroupManagementOff = “False”
