Reference number for administrators or support: #F1ECD3332016-09-07T13:07:59.6346654Z

The Solution

The likely cause of this issue is that the CRM organization database is set to "Restricted Growth." By clearing this option, the issue should be resolved.

Rather than manually searching for and changing this value, running the following script (replacing with the full name of the SQL database, including _MSCRM) should set the value as needed.

ALTER DATABASE MODIFY FILE (NAME = mscrm,MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED)

As always, it is recommended to do a SQL backup or full system image prior to making these types of changes.
