CRM v3 and v4: Peek into your metadata with the CRM Metadata Browser
Administrator, Cool tips, CRM 3.0, CRM 4.0, Developer, Links June 11th, 2008
This ICU MSCRM blog article reminded me of the little known SDK website called the CRM Metadata Browser, where you can access a nicely summarized view of your CRM metadata.
This is perfect for data migration planning, when you’ll need to see the list of attributes (aka fields) per each entity, along with their existing relationships. All of this data is neatly formatted per entity page. Hope it turns out useful for you!
Whether for CRM 3.0 or 4.0, browse out to…

CRM 3.0: Update Rollup 3 withdrawn today (UR3, KB 935364)
Administrator, Downloads, Support April 15th, 2008
According to Guyriddle, the latest Update Rollup 3 for CRM 3.0 was withdrawn from its Microsoft Knowledge Base article website (KB #935364) due to “a regression discovered in one of the included fixes”.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.
