Dynamics CRM 2011 beta setup
I’ve created a short video guide for setting up the Dynamics CRM 2011 on-premise beta. I installed all of the services on to the same virtual machine, so some of the things done will not reflect best practices. The whole installation (excluding Windows setup and updates) took took just over an hour but I’ve tried to cut as many of the progress bars as possible.
Before I started recording, I installed Windows Server 2008 with SP2 and all available updates. I also turned off UAC and the Windows firewall.
If the video below does not work, please try here. Be sure to watch it in full screen HD, otherwise the quality is not great.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’m actually going to be testing IFD this <br/>week on my company test environment, so I will try and post a video <br/>once I have it figured out!

I believe your installation of CRM 2011 is one of the best so far, if not the only one online at this stage
