        Edition or a Windows Vista edition that is running on an x64 computer.

  • Microsoft Dynamics CRM and Exchange E-Mail Router requirements


    Microsoft Dynamics CRM E-mail Router setup consists of two main components:the E-mail Router component and the Rule Deployment Manager component.

    The E-mail Router component installs the E-mail Router service and E-mail Router Configuration Manager. The E-mail Router Configuration Manager is used to configure the E-mail Router. The Rule Deployment Manager component deploys the rules that enable received e-mail messages to be tracked.

    Any one of the following operating systems is required to install and run the E-mail Router or Rule Deployment Manager:

  • Microsoft Windows Server 2008
  • Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (all editions)
  • Windows Vista
  • Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2
  • Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition SP2
  • Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition

  • Exchange Server


    Microsoft Exchange Server is only required if you want to use the E-mail Router to connect to an Exchange Server e-mail messaging system. To do this, the E-mail Router can be installed on any of the previously mentioned Windows or Windows Server operating systems that have a connection to Exchange Server, which must be running one of the following editions:

  • Exchange 2003 Standard Edition SP2
  • Exchange 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2
  • Exchange Server 2007 Standard Edition
  • Exchange Server 2007 Enterprise Edition


  • Note:
    Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server editions are not supported with these versions of Microsoft Dynamics CRM E-mail Router and Rule Deployment Manager.

    If missing, E-mail Router Setup installs the .NET Framework 3.0 on the computer where you install the E-mail Router.

    The Rule Deployment Wizard component must be installed on a computer that is running any of the previously mentioned Windows or Windows Server operating systems and has the Microsoft Exchange Server messaging application programming interface (MAPI) client runtime libraries installed.

    You can install the MAPI client runtime libraries on the Microsoft Download Center.


    POP3/SMTP


    In addition to Exchange Server, POP3 e-mail systems are supported for incoming e-mail message routing.

    Note:

  • The POP3 e-mail server must provide support where an e-mail message
        can be sent as an attachment to another e-mail message.
  • SMTP is the only transport protocol that is supported for outgoing e-mail
       message routing.


  • If you install the Microsoft Dynamics CRM E-mail Router to connect to a POP3 and SMTP server, the following standards are required:

  • POP3: RFC 1939.
  • SMTP: RFC 2821 and 2822.
