A while ago while working on data export from a Microsoft CRM 3.0 server, I ran into this issue. I had quite a hard time finding a solution for it, anywhere, so I thought I would post it here in case anyone else comes across the issue . I hope no one is still using MS CRM 3… anyways.
Server Error in ‘/’ Application.

I figured out that this was a SQL timeout error… probably because I was trying to pull too much data with that query. Anyways, here is how I worked around it:
- In the registry editor of the machine hosting your Microsoft SQL server, open My Computer/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/MSCRM/
- If it does not already exist, create a DWORD value named OLEDBTimeout with a Hexidecimal base. Set the value data to 180 (this is in seconds… 180 = 3 minutes. Default is 30, implicit if there is no OLEDBTimeout DWORD already in existence)
- In Command Prompt, type in ‘cd %windir%/system32&’
- Type in the command ‘cscript iisapp.vbs /a CrmAppPool /r’ (this resets the Application Pool for the CRM, necessary in order to the changes to take effect).
Hopefully this helps somebody out there, somewhere.
