How to resolve Dynamics CRM timeouts…

We have recently been trying to set up a demonstration environment on a single server in a virtual environment. However, certain processes were timing out. To resolve this, we changed the following registry settings on the CRM Server to extend the timeout options:

• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSCRM\OLEDBTimeout
  • 86400 – DWORD Decimal 
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSCRM\ExtendedTimeout
  • 100000 – DWORD Decimal

Once you have made these changes, you will need to reboot your server.

Also linked to timeouts, we were getting the following error message:

Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted (typically under load)

You will need to make the following registry changes to resolve this:

• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\MaxUserPort
  • 65534 – DWORD Decimal
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\TCPTimedWaitDelay
  • 30 – DWORD Decimal

Again, once you have made these changes, you will need to reboot your server.

I hope this helps to resolve your problems.
