Confirm SQL Server 2019 Compatibility and Reporting Requirements
SQL Server 2019 should be supported with Dynamics CRM version 1612, provided that you adhere strictly to Microsoft's deployment guidance and reporting requirements.
While database compatibility is generally supported for build 9.0.2.3034, a successful integration requires your environment to meet specific deployment standards. You must validate your current updates and review the official system requirements to prevent reporting failures or database connection errors post-upgrade.
Log into your Microsoft Dynamics CRM web application, navigate to 'Settings', and check the 'About' section to confirm your exact build is 9.0.2.3034 (version 1612).
Access the Microsoft Dynamics 365 on-premises deployment documentation online to read through the reporting requirements specific to SQL Server 2019 and SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services).
Ensure that any required cumulative updates for your Dynamics CRM are fully installed before initiating the SQL Server migration or upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I upgrade directly to SQL Server 2019 from any older SQL version?
Not necessarily. Your upgrade path depends on the current version of your SQL Server. You may need to upgrade to an intermediate version first. Always check the official SQL Server upgrade paths in the Microsoft documentation.
Are SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) mandatory for Dynamics CRM?
Yes, Microsoft Dynamics CRM relies on SSRS for generating and rendering reports. Ensure that the SSRS component of SQL Server 2019 is correctly installed and configured as part of your deployment.
How do I check if my CRM deployment needs a Cumulative Update?
Compare your current CRM build number found in 'Settings' > 'About' with the latest release versions listed in the Microsoft Dynamics 365 on-premises update summary page.
