cisvc errors on CRM 4.0 install on Windows 2008

Posted by Jamsi in Windows 2008 Server on December 16th, 2008 | 10 responses

I recently had the joy of installing Microsoft’s CRM 4.0 on Windows 2008. One of its prerequesitits is for the server “cisvc.exe” to be started. I had no idea what this meant.

Luckly I managed to get it working by installed the “file server role” (tick the indexing service in the role service section) using the new Windows 2008 server manager. Once the “file server role” was installed, the cisvc service was started and my CRM 4.0 could install!

Hooray!

    thanks for the post, I had the same problem. I am trying CRM 4. Do I need MS Exchnage as well or does CRM work without it

    Thanks!

    A note for Server 2008R2 cisvc is included with the Indexing Service specifically.

    You can install this from the command line under Windows 2008 R2:

    servermanagercmd -install FS-Indexing-Service

    Pre-2 the package name was different. Do
    servermanagercmd -query

    to find out the package name to install.
