I just found this great blog article on how to get your Closed Activities Nav Bar item back. Check it out: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/4808.aspx

In the article, the entity that they are working with is the Case Entity. In my situation, I needed to get the Closed Activities item back on my Account Entity. Here is how I did it:

1. 1. I created a new solution in my problem organization called AccountTest and I put just the account entity into it. I then exported the solution to AccountTest.zip.
2. I repeated this process from another CRM organization that still had the Closed Activities Nav Bar on the Account Entity. This solution was called AccountOriginal. I exported it to AccountOriginal.zip.
3. I extracted the customization.xml file from AccountOriginal.zip, opened it and searched for the following xml tag: <NavBarByRelationshipItem
4. I was able to quickly find the xml section dealing with Closed Activities. I copied it to a notepad and closed the xml file.
5. I extracted the customization.xml file from AccountTest.zip and searched for the same xml tag as above. I pasted the xml snippet into this xml file. Then saved the xml file, deleted the original from the AccountOriginal.zip and then copied the new customization.xml file into the zip.
6. I imported the AccountOriginal.zip back to my problem organization. And just like that, Closed Activities was BACK! Easy Pleasey.

This was so much simpler than I thought it would be. Thanks for the great article, TechNet!

Here is the xml snippet that I need for the Account Entity:

<NavBarByRelationshipItem RelationshipName="Account_ActivityPointers" TitleResourceId="Tab_Label_History" Icon="/_imgs/ico_18_history.gif" ViewId="21E2B905-6FDB-470d-8517-AD69B4C01268" Sequence="20" Area="Info">

Microsoft just recently released Dynamics GP 2010 R2, and this release has some fantastic new features like better Word Templates and email integration, Over 50 new SQL Reporting Services Charts and KPI's, and the new Business Analyzer for contextual business intelligence. If you would like to see the full list of new features, click the link below to download the Microsoft Dynamics GP2010 R2 Presentation.

When attempting to upgrade the CRM 4.0 Online Email Router to CRM 2011 Email Router, you may recieve the following error during the installation process:

Action Microsoft.Crm.Setup.Common.Analyzer+ CollectAction failed.
The following registry key cannot be opened: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSCRM Email.

Microsoft Support suggests that you uninstall the CRM 4.0 Email Router and install the CRM 2011 Email Router without attempting to upgrade the configuration. This resolves the installation error and allows the CRM 2011 Email Router to be installed. However, BEFORE you uninstall the CRM 4.0 email router, you should fully document the configuration as you will have to setup the CRM 2011 Email Router from Scratch.
