MS CRM 4.0 - Set OLEDBTimeout and the ExtendedTimeout registry subkeys

To set the values of OLEDBTimeout and ExtendedTimeout, you have to login to the MS CRM server as administrator.


OLEDBTimeout: 

1. Start, Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. Locate the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSCRM
3. Right-click MSCRM, point to New, and then click DWORD Value to create a new DWORD value.

4. Rename the DWORD value to the following value: OLEDBTimeout. The default OLEDB 

    timeout value is 30 seconds
5. Right-click the DWORD value, and then click Modify. In the Edit DWORD Value dialog

    box, type 86400 in the Value data box, click Decimal in the Base option, and then click

    OK.

ExtendedTimeout:
1. Right-click MSCRM, point to New, and then click DWORD Value to create a new DWORD value.

2. Rename the DWORD value to the following value: ExtendedTimeout

3. Right-click the DWORD value, and then click Modify. In the Edit DWORD Value dialog 

   box, type 1000000 in the Value data box, and then click OK. You can type a value that is

   larger than 1,000,000. However, do not type a value that is larger than 2,147,483,647. 

   This is hexadecimal 0x7FFFFFFF.

If this key already exists, note down the current value. Once you are done with the task like import or the upgrade of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, revert the value to its original value or delete the key if it doesn't exist previously.

Restart IIS to take these values into effect.
