SBS 2003 CRM 3.0 IIS and the w3wp.exe error. How do I get DEP to leave me alone and stop crashing out IIS worker?

SBS 2003 w/Exchange and SQL Server 2005 installed
CRM 3.0

Alright, so I'm setting up a test server to run CRM 3.0 so we can show it to a potential client and sell the thing. I've run into a few problems with it which I've worked out but this one has stopped me. Ever since I finished the install of CRM I've been getting this error message: "Reporting queued error: faulting application w3wp.exe, version 6.0.3790.1830, faulting module unknown, cersion 0.0.0.0m fault address 0x2fbacb39"

The error message usually comes after a DEP window tells me that it's closed the IIS worker because it didn't trust it (basically.) I went into DEP and told it to exclude the w3wp.exe and rebooted and it seemed to not display the error as much. However, the problem was still there. Then I went into IIS manager and told IIS service to run in 5.0 isolated mode. I'm still getting the error and I can't figure out why or find any good articles to help me out.

So two questions:
1) How do I fix the problems with CRM, IIS, and DEP?
2) Is it just me, or does anyone else notice that things on SBS always seem to be more difficult ;)

Thanks guys

1.  That error is usually generated because you have .Net 2.0 Framework installed on your server.  If you don't need it for anything else, you should remove it.

2.  Things on SBS are a bit more difficult when you don't follow best practices.  This is because the ability to run as many as SEVEN different server roles on the same machine require that you keep everything tuned and running according to prescribed methods.  When you do that, everything hums along just fine.  For instance, if I am right about the above... why did you install the .Net 2.0 Framework?  It's not an automatic update.

FYI, you can also use http://mscrm.demoservers.com to show clients how CRM 3.0 works.

First... UNINSTALL OUTLOOK!!! You'll break your Exchange server if you haven't already.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/266418
You can leave other Office items there, but it's highly recommended that you never use a server as a workstation.  Therefore, I usually only install the Office Viewers on an SBS.

This report shows that the .NET 2.0 Framework is still installed.
(Microsoft® .NET Framework Version 2.0.50727.42 *)

It doesn't look as though you've fully installed SBS SP1.  SBS Version is still showing 5.2.2651.0
Please open a command prompt and enter "winver" to see the actual version installed.  If it isn't 5.2.3790 then you need to reinstall SP1 -  Be sure to follow the exact steps at http://sbsurl.com/sp1

If you could also post a complete IPCONFIG /ALL from the server that'd help to determine if you have any other networking issues that could be problematic.

Lastly... I wouldn't have less than 2GB of RAM on an SBS with CRM, just FYI.

.Net framework 2.0 is uninstalled, outlook 2003 is now uninstalled, winver matches up, and the following is the ipconfig /all output:

I use belarc advisor in a pinch to collect data, it doesn't always report versions correctly but overall it does a good job. Same way with the .net framework it probably still sees a rogue registry key leftover from the uninstall and that key might be what's defined in it's software library as a valid recognizable install of the software.

CRM is working right now but it's still spitting up the same error, when I come in after not touching it for a day it's got about 15 waiting for me ;)

All suggestions and responses are appreciated!

Heya,

I went ahead and awarded the points to Jeff but I found the answer elsewhere. I found a step by step walk through installing CRM with ISA server that mentioned changing the settings on the IIS website before installing CRM and changing them back afterwards. I'll throw a link up when I get back to the server where I've got it bookmarked for anyone else that needs help. Thanks everybody!
Actually there are a couple of new how-to's that I've been linking... and have just found since you originally posted thi question.  http://sbsurl.com/crm and a follow-up to that is http://sbsurl.com/crmtrouble

You got it, the first link is identical to the one I used except for the graphics and credits!
