How to set Default Area for CRM 2011 user

If you want to change the default area for a Microsoft CRM Dynamics 2011 user, you can't do it by using the Options Menu from CRM 2011.

What you have to do is to modify the  organization database by using a sql script.

So if you want to make ‘Announcements’ as default page for all the users in that case just run this query under your organization database and after that reset IIS.

update UserSettingsBase set Homepagearea=’Workplace’,Homepagesubarea=’nav_news’
