If you're a long-time Microsoft Dynamics user, I'm sure you've used CustomerSource a time or two. Its long been the go-to place for product downloads, help articles, news and more. But if you've been there recently, you might've noticed some things aren't where they used to be. No, your mind's not playing tricks on you and your memory's not failing you. they're moving Dynamics resources off CustomerSource. This marks an enormous change for CustomerSource for Dynamics users. So, I want to share with you the key details of the announcement and a cheat sheet you can use to find CustomerSource resources in their new homes.
Changes to CustomerSource For Dynamics Users: What You Need to Know
- The file download process for updates, hotfixes, etc. will remain the same. The only changes to it will be cosmetic ones.
- As for knowledge base (KB) articles, the easiest way to search for theses is by keyword, rather than their number.
- Redirects between CustomerSource and a resource's new location may no longer be active. So, if you use an old link, you may see everyone's favorite, "page not found" message.
Where Have My Resources Gone?
