Hi,
Will it work if in the server address I enter crm6.dynamics.com? In the server name I am entering crm6.dynamics.com and then my custom credentials and it does not return my Organisation name in the drop down.
Thanks
I will see to update the connection control from Tanguy and will update here. Unfortunately, It will not work till then for new Data centre.
In the older version for CRM 2013 I didn’t have any connection issues but when I try this new version and try and connect to a CRM 2015 online instance it’s making me put in a server name and it’s not taking anything. what should I put in this field?
This needs .net framework 4.5 since CRM 2015 sdk connection needs it
I’m on .net framework 4.5
for a 2015 CRM online what do I put as the server name?
crm4.dynamics.com for EMEA and so on, you can know it by URL
I get this error:
Error while retrieving organization : Authentication Failure
An unsecured or incorrectly fault was received from the other party. See the inner FaultException for the fault code and detail

I have downloaded the tool and was able to login with proper org and select the entity. Issue I am facing is, it is not downloading the CSV or Visio file in the path specified in the tool. It just says “Operation completed” and no output!!
hi Shadhidhar, Are you using it for a entity with lot of relationships?
Hi Deepesh, I having same problem with Shashidhar,
I wonder if you could share with me the solution or debug solution.

Hi Steven,
Do you have windows identity framework installed, Visio installed.
