MS CRM 4.0 workflow assembly in a MS CRM 2011 solution

Just got this error when uploading a crm 4.0 workflow assembly in a CRM 2011.
Could not load file or assembly ‘Microsoft.Crm.Sdk, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35′ or one of its dependencies. The located assembly’s manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0×80131040)
Found the solution at Rick Wilson blog link
Just add this after the configSections section in the web.config of the CRM 2011 website.
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns=”urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1″>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name=”Microsoft.Crm.Sdk” culture=”neutral” publicKeyToken=”31bf3856ad364e35″ />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion=”4.0.0.0″ newVersion=”5.0.0.0″ />
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>

Show the number of records and space for each database table.

I created a nice SQL query today to show the number of records in each table in a database and the space it takes in the database in megabytes.

Very handy to see why some MS CRM databases are so big.

My biggest SQL transaction ever.

I just performed my biggest SQL transaction ever.

I had to delete 100 million DuplicateRecordBase records in de CRM database (More info)

I used the following SQL because using the delete statement filled up the hard disk and would have taken ages.

truncate table DuplicateRecordBase

Host headers issue with WSS 3.0, MOSS 2007 and Search Server 2008

When installing WSS 3.0, MOSS 2007 or Windows Search Server 2008 I always encounter the same issue when using Host Headers. So I thought it was time to blog this. When I try to access a page which is configured with a host header I get prompt to enter my credentials 3 times. After the third time I get an empty page. This only happens when you access the page from the same machine as the installation. When accessing the page from another PC it works immediately. Read more »
