CRM – Outlook reminders …
March 1, 2009 by JFerguson · Leave a Comment
If you’re like me, you have many tasks syncing from CRM into outlook … and then finding you may be drowning in reminders, and snooze has become your best friend!
Fear not, as the CRM Team Blog has a great solution for you!
Fortunately, I picked up a neat little registry setting trick from former CRM Product Manager Michael Lu. By adding the registry setting OutlookSyncDisableTaskReminders to your client computer (not the server) at HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/MSCRMClient and setting its value to 1, the Outlook client will not create reminders on activities it syncs into Outlook.
This solution won’t work for everyone, but I find that it works pretty well for me.
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide problems that may require you to re-install Windows to correct them. Only administrators will have the necessary permissions to perform this modification. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use the Registry Editor at your own risk.
‘til next time!
