CRM 3.0: Update Rollup 3 withdrawn today (UR3, KB 935364)

Support IssuesAccording to Guyriddle, the latest Update Rollup 3 for CRM 3.0 was withdrawn from its Microsoft Knowledge Base article website (KB #935364) due to “a regression discovered in one of the included fixes”.

Apparently there was a flawed hotfix in the Update Rollup 3 package that may prevent users from accessing Service Activity record information. This flawed hotfix is related to other hotfixes included in the package, which is likely why the Microsoft Sustained Engineering Team pulled it from the website today.

I will post to this blog as soon as this issue is resolved and after the Update Rollup has been reposted for download. The full excerpt can be found below.

CRM 3.0 Hotfix Rollup 3 withdrawn

Please be advised that you should not install Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 Update Rollup 3 (UR3) on any sites as it has been withdrawn due to a regression discovered in one of the included fixes.

The issue – After applying UR3 or one of the specific hotfixes listed below, when opening an existing Service Activity and clicking on the Customers field to drill down to the Customer information the following error is received:

Record is Unavailable.

The record that you are requesting is currently unavailable. Either the record was not found or you do not have sufficient security permissions to view it.

Microsoft’s Sustained Engineering team for Microsoft Dynamics CRM are working on a fix for this and will re-release UR3 as soon as possible, no further information on timescale available at this time.

The following individual hofixes are also affected by the regression and are being withdrawn as well, for these a new single hotfix will be produced to replace them…
