What it does – checks for any manifestation of CRM 4 SDK usage by combining reflection and plain text search in the code.
Below is the quick overview of what the tool does:
- Loads all plug-in assemblies and for each plug-in for each step checks if the plug-in implements Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.IPlugin interface or if there are some other references to CRM 4.0 SDK including assembly references to SDK libraries.
- Verifies that there are no files in the ISV folder. To deterrmine the folder it is looking at the register Software\Microsoft\MSCRM under WebSitePath key.
- If anything is found, then it reports that ISV folder under CRM Website contains some files.
- Verifies if IIS Logs contain calls to the 2007 web service endpoint and reports about them.
- Loads all web resources and checks for the "crmservice.asmx” text and if the match is found then the tool reports about a reference contained in the web resource to the 2007 web service endpoint.
