MS CRM 2011 Database Restore Failed

April 25th, 2012 DynamicsMSCRM Comments off

  • Databases with full-text searching enabled can’t be restored to root directories on drives for some reason, so they’re in D:\Data and the log is in F:\Logs.  Unfortunately the error message wasn’t in any way relevant, so it took some digging to find this.
  • I had to manually create an FTData directory on C: and assign rights to the SQL Service account.
