When opened IIS manager Microsoft Dynamic CRM authentication was set to "Windows Authentication" but was still getting above error.

Resolution:

This was due to mistakenly someone removed "Negotiate" Provider from "Microsoft Dynamic CRM" website,

To add it back perform following steps

Start->Run-> Inetmgr -> Microsoft Dynamic CRM -> select authenticate and click open feature in action panel ->click windows authentication and click on providers in action panel-> select Negotiate from available providers dropdown list and click add, and move it to top.

Restart IIS

Report Server Error

In event viewer following error message was display,

“Report Server (MSSQLSERVER) cannot load the SQLPDW extension.”

“Report Server (MSSQLSERVER) cannot load the TERADATA extension.”

This is due to reporting server installed does not have SQLPDW and TERADATA extentions installed, there are two options to resolve this, first if these extensions are not used then comment configuration to not load these, and second to install these component on server.

Error occurred while fetching the report

I exported solution from one environment and trying to import into different environment half way through on import i started getting this error "Error occurred while fetching the report" having error number 0x8004832B

Reason: Reporting server/services was not running

Resolution:  Before importing try to open and run any built in report in destination environment and make sure that is working fine, that will give you bit more detail to problem. it might be because you don't have permission on reporting server.

Assembly must be registered in isolation

When trying to import solution Error message is coming ".... Assembly must be registered in isolation".
Error is shown as user who is trying to import solution does not have got deployment admin rights.

To resolve this open deployment manager with a user who has got access to it, and then add the user who is trying to import solution as a deployment administrator.
