This week I tried to apply the Dynamics 365 update to a couple of CRM organisations that were running on v8.0.1.79. This failed and in the log file I found the following error: dbo.SolutionBase' with unique index 'ndx_UniqueName'. The duplicate key value is (SnapshotSolution80) Just to explain what I believe has happened here, I think that someone at Microsoft created a solution snapshot in V8.0.1.79 with the unique name SnapshotSolution80. This Snapshot Solution is removed from the DB when you apply update V8.1.0.359. Later, in V8.2.0.749 the same unique name is used on a different solution snapshot and when the CRM tries to insert this record into SQL it throws the error mentioned above because you never applied update V8.0.1.359 to remove the duplicate key. How to fix it 1 Restore DB to a CRM server running CRM V8.1.0.359 2 Attempt to apply Update 8.1.0.359 to CRM DB. If it fails with the error: Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'dbo.SolutionBas

We spent a lot of time while we encountered  the below exception when we were integrating CRM with SharePoint. Exception: System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized. Environment details: CRM 2016 on-premise with Claims authentication enabled. SharePoint Server On-premise with Claims authentication enabled. User Account using to set up is Admin on both the CRM and Sharepoint servers.
