When configuring the Outlook Client, you receive the error "Mandatory updates for Microsoft Dynamics CRM could not be applied successfully. Try running the application again."

Here’s a quick gotcha I saw on the CRM Forums. When configuring the CRM Client for Outlook, you enter http://servername:port/ORGNAME in the Internet address field and you get a cryptic error stating “Mandatory updates for Microsoft Dynamics CRM could not be applied successfully.  Try running the application again.”

Unhelpful error message.

This confusing message only appears if you include the ORGNAME as part of your CRM server URL. To resolve this issue, simply delete the ORGNAME from you URL (http://servername:port/). Don’t worry if your user has access to more than one CRM Organization – the configuration wizard will prompt you to choose an Organization after you click next.
