How can I get the new Polaris UI that was supposed to be released December? I heard it was released then was recalled. How can I access a beta copy for a client demo?
If you are referring to the "On-Premise" version, then this has not yet been released.
For client demos, you could sign up for a free 30-day trial for CRM Online (no credit card details needed). Since around mid-January, all CRM Online trials are automatically preloaded with the Polaris updates.
The Rollup 12 (v2) for CRM 2011 On-Premise has just been re-released.
Check it out
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36229
The update roll-up 12 has been released and taken back due to bugs.
However, if you go to crm.dynamics.com and register for a free CRM On-line account (that will last you for four weeks before you need to pay), you'll get what you wish.
It's my understanding that the biggest change is the process driven UI that is supposed to substitute the forms. Haven't tried it out, yet, but it looks interesting.
Frankly, I was expecting more visual changes in the the version so I'm a little bit disappointed. But it's definitely a step in right direction!

I have got a question here as I recently extended my role (from Senior SharePoint developer) also as a SharePoint administrator and applying SharePoint product patches on the servers now is a part of my job. The responsibility is new and am also learning at the same time.
The last patch applied by the previous admin was in May 2018. I can see that there are a lot of patches released by Microsoft every month and since we are lagging way behind what should be my approach in getting the patches applied?
Reading a couple of articles suggests that I should be very mindful before making a call to proceed with the patch activity in the sense look out for any issues that might arise out of the patch etc.. at the sametime since the environment is lagging behind with updates I need to advice the management on an approach to stay inline with updates.
Any suggestion/recommendation is much appreciated.
Thanks.
You can directly deploy the latest patch package in SharePoint 2016.
After each successful installation, you need to run SharePoint 2016 Products Configuration Wizard.

I have a scenario for Dynamics CRM Online as follows: On the case entity, the maximum time allowed for case resolution is 48 hours, the first warning email should go out after 24 hours of case creation. If the case is not resolved within 48 hours a warning email should go out every 12 hours till it is resolved. How can this be implemented?
Your best bet is implementing a scheduled EXE to look at the open cases and send the emails, CRM isn't really designed for this kind of recurring operations.
You'd be able to leverage Email Templates from SDK aswell, so it's actually not a hard at all solution (that's how we implement this kind of requirement usually too)
Microsoft Flow integrates with CRM Online and allows you to configure scheduled workflows.
CRM 2011
You should try Timeout (Wait is other option) in CRM Workflow to achieve the requirement.
http://www.powerobjects.com/2012/10/12/time-condition-based-workflows-in-crm-2011/
While creating case & after the reminder sent, you can set the next checkpoint time & workflow can send the reminder email once checkpoint time is reached (after checking the current status)
CRM 2013
SLA feature is introduced & refer the below link to implement it

I want to study Sharepoint. But if I create a project in VS 2010 it will shows an error message like "Sharepoint server is not installed in this machine". So is there any free Sharepoint server or service available? Is there any other way to start learning sharepoint 2010.
SharePoint is a very demanding platform to work with, ensure you have hardware matching the specifications, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262485.aspx.
Working with crappy hw, virtual drives and so on will cause a lot of pain and consume loads of time. Think of learning SharePoint and SharePoint development as an investment.
However, if you just want to play with it for a bit follow this guide for installing SP on Windows 7
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee554869.aspx
It do require x64
Download SharePoint 2010 Foundation since it's free. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/ee263910.aspx#tab=1
Cheers
Cloudshare (www.cloudshare.com) is the easiest and fastest way to get setup using SharePoint. It's about $60/month, but you get a machine pre-installed with SharePoint, SQL Server, and Windows Server. All you need, and you don't have to do a thing!
Also, if you're looking for something a bit cheaper, try Office365 w/SharePoint. It won't give you every feature, but it's less than $10/month per user, so it might be what you're looking for?
Two avenues to try:
Free sharepoint service: http://www.freesharepoint.com/
Trial Sharepoint 2010: http://sharepoint.microsoft.com/en-us/Pages/Try-It.aspx
Have a look here. There are VHDs available for download to have a play with.
[edit] If you can't find your way around VHDs best place to start would be getting your hands on WSS4 (Microsoft Sharepoint Foundation). WSS is a free version of sharepoint as opposed to full whack MOSS (Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server) and a good place to start playing.
I highly recommend SharePoint 2010 Developer Training Course from Microsoft.
A SharePoint development rig can be pricey. Check out the free trial at cloudshare.com. money well spent...currently 49 a month.. Removes the headaches of maintaining the environment so u can focus on Dev work.
As mentioned in the other posts you should have a look at MSDN to get started with the SharePoint Framework itself.
Cloudshare.com is offering SharePoint developer systems hosted in the cloud. There is a 14 day trialversion.
Cloudshare is great, it's fast and it's offering a lot of templates for SharePoint developer Farms.
One of the best books for SharePoint development is "Inside Microsoft SharePoint" from Microsoft Press.
NothingButSharePoint.com is also a great point to get started with SharePoint regardless to your profession. There is a lot of content for Users/IT-Pros/Developers

There is a really useful script which helps to setup all the environment you need to start development for SP (SP2010 trial, VS, SPD, Office and so on). So, you can just start it, enter some input details and right after it finishes you can start development.
It is absolutely free (if my memory serves me well, it is 180 days trial).
I highly recommend it for quick start.

We restored a computer with Time Machine which had an active MonoTouch licence.
We need to remove the Monotouch license and just use the box as a coding box, not a builder.
Is this possible/allowed?
You should be able to install that license on another machine without deactivating the previous one as I believe you can activate it twice before you have to remove the license. To remove ours, I emailed the team at monotouch directly through the website contact form here.
I've found the Monotouch email support to be VERY helpful. They're prompt and more than happy to accomodate any problems you have - so I'd suggest emailing them if you have any problems.
EDIT - 9th Dec 2012
Update based on Kirk Woll's comment:
today you can only activate a given key one time before you must deactivate it on xamarin.com. However, deactivating is simply a matter of logging in, selecting your license, and "recycling your workstation". (And you can recycle a workstation at most 2 times a year).
We have a weird intermittent problem with saving from Word 2007 to our SharePoint 2007 (MOSS) document libraries that gives a dialog box that never goes away - it is titled "Content Types" and the message "Getting list of available content types..." with a green progress-type bar that keeps scrolling. It happens a lot on our training server (self-contained virtual machine with separate SQL Server) but more worryingly is happening on our live production server (which is in a medium server farm arrangement - web application server, another server for search/indexing and a SQL Server). All servers in the farms are 64 bit.
It is strangely random - the user has to kill Word 2007, then they recover their document and try to save to the same document library and it saves without a problem.
It happens more on the training server than the live server. The live web application server rarely goes over 20% CPU (usually around 5%) and memory peaks at 2Gb of the available 4Gb (usually at 1.5Gb) so I don't think its a resources issue.
The document libraries are customised and deployed using Features in a Solution. The only content type in them is the standard Documents content type.
Update We opened this with Microsoft as a support issue and it is a known issue that is targeted to be addressed in a Cumulative Update hotfix package for SharePoint in February 2009.
Edit Copied the above response to an answer so this question could be flagged as answered.
I have encountered this issue as well. Do you know if it was corrected in MOSS Service Pack 2? Do you have a KB# or other ID from Microsoft which references this problem?

Edit: As at 27 January 2009 we have the test patch so it looks like the official patch is set to be released on time.
Edit: This problem was fixed by the February Cumulative update which is also part of SP2:

However, you also need to patch Word for it to be effective; that patch is available here:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=962872
That is for Word 2007, other versions may need other patches.
