Resolving the Dynamics CRM minFreeThreads error

A while ago I booted up a new Hyper-V virtual machine with Dynamics CRM installed and I received the following error “The value for ‘minFreeThreads’ must be less than the thread pool limit of 400 threads.” when opening the Dynamics CRM web page.

Apparently the  Microsoft .NET Threadpools settings of the machine.config where changed based on the guidelines defined in Optimizing and maintaining a Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Server Infrastructure.

Parameter	Value
maxWorkerThreads	100
maxIoThreads	100
maxconnection	12*n (where n is the number of CPUs)
minFreeThreads	88*n
minLocalRequestFreeThreads	76*n
minWorkerThreads	50 (manually add this parameter to the file

So if you change the number of processors assigned to the machine - you will also need to change the machine.config
