Move servers to new Data Centre

One of our client wanted to move CRM Server from One Data Centre to different data centre but due to some constraint we could not move it by creating New Organization or by new deployment. We had only left option was update IP address manually.

Recently we moved our CRM Server from one data centre to new data centre due to which IP Address of both Application and Database Server was changed. We had updated new IP Address in Registry(MSCRM–configdb,database,LocalSdkHost,metabase,ServerUrl,SQLRSServerUrl), Application Pool, Web.Config and custom application. But even after updating new IP address on above section we were getting the following error.

A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 172.23.201.162:80

Actually It was still referring Old IP Address at some places. To resolve the issue we enable the trace log and get CrmServerReportInformation with help of “Create File” option of CrmDiagTool 4.0 and came to know that DeploymentProperty Table(Column Name- ADSdkRootDomain, ADWebApplicationRootDomain and AsyncSdkRootDomain) of MSCRM_Config was still referring old IP Address. We have updated this column with new IP Address as below and everything start working fine.

USE MSCRM_CONFIG

Update DeploymentProperties SET NVarCharColumn = ‘New IP Address’ WHERE ColumnName= ‘AsyncSdkRootDomain’

Update DeploymentProperties SET NvarCharColumn = ‘New IP Address’ WHERE ColumnName = ‘ADSdkRootDomain’

Update DeploymentProperties SET NvarCharColumn = ‘New IP Address’ WHERE ColumnName = ‘ADWebApplicationRootDomain’

Hope this help you 🙂
