I’m setting up a dev environment for CRM 2011, to test our organisation ahead of an upgrade from 4.0
I’m trying to avoid having to set up a separate DC for the dev environment as I only have limited resources to create VMs with.
Will 2011 use the existing 4.0 AD server groups, or will it create it’s own groups?
Thanks,
Jim
If you decide to go the In-Place-Upgrade route, it will use the existing OUs.
Another option is to create a complete new Dynamics CRM 2011 environment (and therefore specifying a new OU). You can import your v4 Org-Database into it which will perform an upgrade. This gives you the possibility to test at least the database specific parts of the upgrade.
