The Add Data Source Wizard is used to add a new SMS data source. After the wizard has completed, additional configuration is necessary because the SCRM SMS Site Service must be installed on the SMS server. For more information, see How to Configure an SMS Server as an SCRM Data Source.
When you create the SMS data source, you are prompted for an account used to transfer from the SMS source to the SMS Data\<SMS Data Source Name> folder. It is recommended that you use the computer account of the SMS data source computer. The specified account is granted access to the shared folder on the SCRM computer. It is also granted full access to the folder that is created for the SMS data source.

If the user changes the account that moves the data from the SMS computer, you need to grant permissions to the new account on the SCRM computer. |
