==============

Here’s a simple checklist to follow for those like me who only do this every now and again:

Install the Platform:

• Create a new Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit VM (VirtualBox is good for this), enable a shared folder, grant at least 3GB RAM
• Complete the Windows 2008 installation and initial configuration
• Turn off “Internet Explorer Enhanced Security” (via Server Manager)
• Assign a static IP address to the server
• Add the Domain Services and DNS server roles
• Promote the server to be a domain controller (dcpromo)
• Install SQL Server 2008 R2 (including Full Text Search and SSRS, set SQL Agent to auto start)
• Test SSRS (http://servername/reportmanager)
• Create an Organizational Unit in the AD to house  the CRM AD Groups

Install CRM:

• Install CRM Server
• Test CRM (http://servername:portnumber)
• Add sample data
• Install CRM Reporting Extensions (SSRS Data  Connector)
• Test CRM Reports
• Install Email Router
• Install the latest CRM Rollup Packs
• Install Microsoft Office
• Add a second (bridged) adaptor to the VM to add internet access
• Configure Outlook to send/receive via Gmail pop3 and smtp
• Configure the Email Router to send/receive via Gmail pop3 and smtp
• Configure a user to use the router, test email send and receive
• Install the CRM Outlook Client and associated Rollup Pack
• Test the CRM Outlook Client
• Optionally install Visual Studio, CRM SDK, 3rd party tools like the View Replicator, etc
