Need some help resolving an issue. This morning opening records
through Outlook CRM stopped working. When clicking on the item in
Outlook, the following message would appear after a short delay:

"A Microsoft Dynamics CRM window was unable to open, and may have been
blocked by a pop-up blocker. Please add this Microsoft Dynamics CRM
server to the list of the sites your pop-up blocker allows to open new
windows:our server name"

The following items have been done in an effort to resolve the
problem:

1. Disabled IE pop-up blocker and checked computer for any other pop-
up blockers (including Yahoo, Google, MSN, etc). No other pop-up
blockers were installed.
2. Added our server name to Trusted Sites in IE Security options.
3. Tried clicking on the item while holding down CTRL key.
4. Tested access to same item from other user accounts on different
computers. No problems.

Any suggestions to help resolve this issue would be greatly
appreciated. Thank you.

I struggled with this on Vista. The solution that worked for me was to
disable protected mode on IE in the Zone that the crmserver.com url is
located. For us, we have this URL in the Intranet Zone

Thank you!!!

This is the only post that I have been able to find that has this info.
I've been pulling out what little hair I have on this one.

But... Do you know what risks there may be in disabling the protected mode
for the Intranet Zone?

Thanks again,
Mark

Well, if you only put known sites in it, I don't see a problem, but I also am
no expert. Finally, what choice do we have?

I'm having the same issue when working offline, it is using the server name
localhost. Any suggestions?

Unfortunately this procedure didn't resolve the problem for me. I am running
IE8 and Outlook 2007 and Vista . Additional observation is that each "click"
opens a new iexplore.exe process which stays open. Occasionally i get an IE
has stopped working error message with the following signature:

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BEX
Application Name: iexplore.exe
Application Version: 8.0.6001.18241
Application Timestamp: 48ae8fee

I am desperate to solve this...

IE8 is not supported as of yet. Until then your only recourse would be to
use IE7 :-\

I noticed that it didn't help me at first either. However, I checked my
processes running in Task manager and noticed that even though I closed all
of the IE windows, it still had at least one running. I force quit all of
the IExplore.exe processes, and when I did, it worked.

Steps I took to resolve problem:
* Added CRM URL to trusted sites
* Unchecked Protected Mode for the site
* Closed all IE windows
* Force closed all Iexplore.exe processes in task manager

After the above steps were taken, I was able to open all CRM windows from
Outlook.

what works for me is to add 2 url entries in the trusted websites - one with
the servername and other with the IP.

Another option is to go directly to the loader.aspx page. this should
bypass the popup trigger.

I'm having this same problem. I'm using IE8 and Vista with Outlook
2007.

I've added URL's and IP to Trusted Sites and Intranet Sites
I've added URL's pop-up blocker (pop-up blocker is off anyway though)
Do not have Google toolbar installed
Yahoo toolbar is disabled.
Protected Mode for Intranet Sites and Trusted Sites is disabled
(unchecked)

Anyone ever find a concrete resolution?

What worked for me is to disable Protected Mode for Internet Sites. I connect
to CRM over a VPN so I wonder if that was misconfigured and so the only way
around it was to do the above. Though risky, try it to see if that works and
then you have a basis for troubleshooting the cause.

After reading the following blog post, I corrected my problem by *enabling*
Protected Mode for the Trusted Sites Zone. I'm running IE8, Outlook 2007,
and CRM 4 on Windows Server 2008.

Yes, that worked for me too, but disabling protected mode for IE8 means that
in Outlook you can't click on "View in CRM" anymore.

Blast, going to IE8 was such a mistake for CRM, going to Rollup 4 to 'try
and fix it' made it worse.

Oh well,
