Workflow doesn't work, Imports never happen, emails don't flow and Outlook clients cannot connect
Update 23 June 2008: See The official way to change MSCRM ports for an official way to do this. Update 12 March 2008:
The discovery service is a web service which gives back the real URL to the web services in MSCRM, so if you changed IIS it still gives back the old ones. There is also a bug in the RTM of MSCRM 4.0 which causes it to use the machine name instead of the host header after upgrades. So you go to http://<nice name> and the discovery service gives back to http://<machine name>/mscrmservices/2007/crmservice.asmx which doesn't exist since yourhost headers should have it as http://<nice name>/mscrmservices/2007/crmservice.asmx
You can pick this up using fiddler on the email server or desktop machine when trying to configure the email router or outlook client respectively. So I went though this with Microsoft PSS and they came back with a SQL command you can run to fix this.
NOTE: As this is a DB change it is unsupported. If you are a little worried about the impact do backups then try it. If you are very worried contact PSS directly for help.
Example, if your server is called: myserver and runs on port 50000
Once done do an IISReset and restart the Async service and everything should start to work fine! As I said before this came from PSS (in particular Justin Thorp)and I would really like to thank him for the hard workand great responses I got on it.
- An easier way exists to do this now. See Workflow doesn't work, Imports never happen, emails don't flow and Outlook clients cannot connect - Reloaded
- Another issue causing the same problems has been found and solved. See: Request IP Address has different address family from network address.

Great article, really helped
Submitted by Daniel on Fri, 09/05/2008 - 13:49.Great article, really helped us out.
Also, if you've made the mistake to install the CRM 4.0 Data Migration Managar (DMM) on the same server as your CRM installation and then unistalled it some of the configuration properties are reset.
Not resolved yet
Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 09/05/2008 - 08:35.Thanks for this advice. I am however facing an Outlook configuration issue with 401 unautorized error after SQL Deployment properties table changed.
In our environment 3 servers are running - 1st one is CRM application/platform role, 2nd is CRM deployment service role, 3rd is CRM SQL server.
In this configuration, Outlook has to point the url for deployment service where discovery service is running, I think.
Could anyone advise what should I check - such as regedit, DB table, IIS setting, etc.
Thank you in advance.
Hmm what I would suggest is
Submitted by Robert MacLean on Mon, 09/08/2008 - 22:22.Hmm what I would suggest is grab a copy of Fiddler (a google search will find it) and pop it on your client box and then run the Outlook client. You should the HTTP requests going through it, check that the URLs in that match what you are expecting.
Thanks for suggestion
Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 09/10/2008 - 08:46.Thanks rmaclean,
I did verify the URL with Fiddler and it was confirmed the request was redirected to "/MSCRMService/2007/SPLA/CrmDiscoveryService.asmx" on the deployment service server as I expected. However the request is still not accepted (error 401)... it is ugly.

FYI: I tried the IFD solution first, but it never filled in the needed value for AsyncSdkRootDomain, I had to enter it manually.
AMAZING, IT NOW WORKS
