CRM Router and Dynamics CRM V9 Online–No Emails Being Processed
This one is an interesting one – and it was only resolved by a call to Microsoft Support, who do not document that this setting is required. The scenario is that you upgrade your CRM Router to v9 (as this is required before you upgrade Dynamics to V9) and you enable TLS 1.2 on the…
