Turn off CRM Outlook Syncronization

The Outlook CRM add-in includes the diagnostics tool. This allows various configuration options.
For some cases it might be useful to deactivate the Outlook Synchronization.

Usually, this tool is installed in this path:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM\Client\res\web\bin

you can open the tool from command line if you want:

Microsoft.Crm.Outlook.Diagnostics.exe

diagnostics

If you want to configure multiple machines or use policies to deactivate synchronziation you can also
use a registry key for that:

outlook sync

The key you want to look for is “RunOutlookScheduledSync” or “RunOfflineScheduledSync” if you use offline functionality.

Setting to 0 (zero) disables it. Setting to 1 enables this feature.

Remark:
Replace ORG_ID with your actual organization id.

Create Windows Registry deactivate.reg file for deactivation of sync:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSCRMClient\{ORG_ID}]
"RunOutlookScheduledSync"=dword:00000000
"RunOfflineScheduledSync"=dword:00000000

 

Create Windows Registry activate.reg file for activation of sync:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSCRMClient\{ORG_ID}]
"RunOutlookScheduledSync"=dword:00000001
"RunOfflineScheduledSync"=dword:00000001

Here are a few links to articles that will help you installing the pre-requisites (Microsoft PowerApps CLI)  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/component-framework/get-powerapps-cli Other good references to get into this topic: https://toddbaginski.com/blog/how-to-create-a-powerapps-pcf-control/ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/component-framework/create-custom-controls-using-pcf I looked through the Guido Preite’s https://pcf.gallery/ which will help you find appropriate use cases / examples for your own needs.

Power Automate: Avoid Apply to Each for List rows action (DataVerse)

If you do not want to use the Apply to Each loop after a Dataverse List rows action you can use the following in a Dynamic Content / Expression box to directly use a field's value in e.g. Compose action: first(outputs('List_rows')?['body/value'])?['apx_fullpath'] instead of apx_fullpath you can use whatever field name you need for the entity that's been queried before.
