Microsoft Business Solutions CRM Database Profile Wizard

The Microsoft CRM Database Profile Wizard collects and sends descriptive data from your Microsoft CRM database to Microsoft for analysis. This data will help us better understand how our customers are using Microsoft CRM.

The Microsoft CRM Database Profile Wizard collects descriptive data from Microsoft CRM 1.0 and 1.2 databases and sends the collected data to Microsoft. This data will be used to improve the next version of Microsoft CRM. When you run this wizard, you can sign up to receive additional information about upgrading your current Microsoft CRM system.

The wizard asks for two types of information:

  • Profile information about your organization
  • Data about your Microsoft CRM database and system

The data that is collected includes object counts, object associations, customizations, object sharing, workflow processes, and Microsoft CRM system information. The wizard does not collect any business data, such as data from your account or contact records.

The collected data is sent securely over the Internet to Microsoft where only the Microsoft CRM team will use it. You can choose not to send any data you do not feel comfortable sharing with us.

The tool is available here free from Microsoft.
