Adding Voice To Event Processing Applications Using Microsoft StreamInsight and Twilio

Adding Voice To Event Processing Applications Using Microsoft StreamInsight and Twilio

I recently did an in-person demonstration of how to use the cool Twilio service to send voice messages when Microsoft StreamInsight detected a fraud condition. In this blog post, I’ll walk through how I built the StreamInsight adapter, Twilio handler service and plugged it all together. Here is what I built, with each numbered activity […]

CRM 2011: Getting Dynamics CRM for Outlook working on Win8 RC x64

I thought I’d give it a go and see how far this would take me. (One of the Win8 x64
beta installs caused alot of grief)

So my environment:

  • Recent Win8 RC x64
  • Office 2010 x64
  • Outlook 2010 x64

Installed the CRM 2011 Client by going to the web address of our crm site e.g. https://crm.acme.com

There’s a button on page that says ’download Dynamics CRM for Outlook’ – after a short
download and install all went well

I grabbed CRM2011 CU8 – http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29692 and
updated accordingly.

Note at this point CRM plugin had not been configured.

CRM Client Log files prove very helpful here:

When I fired up Outlook and went to configure the CRM Plugin, Testing connection I
would get back

“we can’t authenticate your credentials

Digging into the log files..

Solution: Install the Windows Identity Framework 3.5 that comes with Win8
RC.


And in my case, you’re done.

Happy CRM-ing.

Now to fill in my timesheets

Summary of my contributions on TechNet Wiki in the first half of 2012

Last couple of months I written a number of wiki articles for Microsoft TechNet Wiki. Initially and along with Ruth Resende I decided to fill a gap in TechNet Wiki: the lack of BizTalk articles or documentation in Portuguese but I ended up joining the BizTalk Wiki Ninjas (Steef-Jan Wiggers, Tord Gard Nordahl, Dan Rosanova […]
