Hi Mitch
Thank you for your excellent Bulk Attribute Deletion utility which I find invaluable. I have it working well on one server with CRM 4 installed locally (on Premises), but for some reason when I install the utility on another server (where there is also CRM 4 locally installed) I cannot get it to Connect to this on Premises CRM. I get ‘The request failed with http status 401 unauthorised’ error although the settings (On Premises; CRM Discovery Server: 192.168.43.21:5555; my login & pwd, domain ) are all valid in that they let me log into CRM iteself without problem. I suspect a setting in IIS7 Manager might be wrong. Which ‘Authentication’ values (enabled or disabled) need to be set & in which areas of the MS CRM Site in IIS to allow your utility to connect ? Many thanks Mitch, James Perkins (jperkins@accsimple.com)

But if you don’t like clicking through you can use a free tool like Find Privilege from Mitch Milam. […]

Thanks for the free tools! I’m looking forward to using your updated Web Resource download tool; the original JavaScript version has been very useful. I appreciate the help / information that you’ve given me over the past couple of years as I learn about Dynamics CRM and development on the Microsoft stack.
