Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customization and Configuration (legacy) — Question 85

You have a Dynamics CRM development environment and a Dynamics CRM production environment.
You have a project solution in the development environment. You need to import the solution to the production environment as a managed solution.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Change the options of the Import Solution dialog box to import the solution as managed.
• B. Use the Package Deployer for Microsoft Dynamics CRM to import the unmanaged solution to CRM as managed.
• C. Ask a developer to change the options of the import API so that CRM imports the unmanaged solution to CRM as managed.
• D. Export an unmanaged solution and select Managed for the package type. Import the exported solution to the production environment.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because to import a solution as managed, you must first export it as unmanaged and specify the managed type during the export process. Option A is incorrect as merely changing dialog options during import doesn't suffice; B is wrong because the Package Deployer is not intended for this purpose; C is also incorrect since the import API does not allow for unmanaged solutions to be imported as managed directly.
