How to config Remote BLOB Storage(RBS) with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 ?

Question

Hi

We have working site for Dynamic crm 4.0 and in it we are storing image into the database. Now database is growing very fast and server is dying.. now I want to enable the Remote BLOB Storage with Dynamic CRM 4.0. for that I tried to install RBS for testing but everywhere is configure with Sharepoint 2010 not with Dynamic Crm.

Does anybody know how to install and configure with Dyanmic CRM 4.0? Does RBS with Standard Edition of SQL Server 2008?

I followed following path to install but it with Sharepoint?

Hi,

Any modification to the CRM database are not supported, and enabling RBS on the CRM database is a modification to the database schema.

Maybe that is why you did not found any information on how to enable it on the CRM database. Just to be sure, I would log a support request using Partner/Customer source to be sure that this SQL Server feature is not supported. They will tell you if it's supported, and if so, how to configure it.
