As many Dynamics CRM 4.0 aficionados know, Microsoft releases regular updates to iron out documented issues. CRM 2011 is no exception; three Update Rollups have already been released since RTM.
Note that the On-Premise build numbers I list below may be different than what you will find in CRM 2011 Online. Microsoft continuously adds new updates behind the scenes, thus the likelihood of having a greater build number in comparison to the latest Update Rollup version.
To determine your current build number from the IE web client, simply:
- Browse to your CRM 2011 website
- Click on the File tab
- Navigate to Help
- Click on “About Microsoft Dynamics CRM”
To determine your current build number from the Outlook CRM client:
- Open Outlook with the CRM Client installed
- Click on the File tab
- Click on the CRM side tab
- Click on the “About Microsoft Dynamics CRM” button
A window will pop up with your build number listed. If you used Outlook, you will see the build numbers for both the Server and Outlook CRM Client (sample screenshot below).
See below for a chart of the Dynamics CRM 2011 build versions. I’ll try to keep it current, so be sure to bookmark and check back later!
