When you are setting up an Internet Facing CRM you need to use an STS service which often means ADFS. So which version are you running?
Now, CRM of different verisons supports different versions of ADFS and the complete list is in your implementation guide. But how do you check for which version you are running. It turns out you don't. But have no fear, Jorge is your man here. This blog https://jorgequestforknowledge.wordpress.com/2014/02/23/gathering-architectural-details-from-your-adfs-infrastructure-adfs-version/#comment-17198 helped me to determine which verison that was installed on a system. Really, you have to look at how the GUI looks and see if there are files available.
This feels so 2015.
Have fun and thanks Jorge!

SQL Server instance name must be the same as computer name
I was installing a CRM 2011 server the other day to do an upgrade for a customer and, yes I know this sounds impossible but I ended up with an error I haven't seen before.
It really was my own fault but still. I had installed the SQL server on the machine and then renamed it which made the SQL server behave in a bit interesting way. My CRM installation whined a bit about the server name not being the same as the SQL instance name which made no sence at all to me but when the reporting services complained too I ran the reporting services setup tool and this showed me that it was looking for an SQL server with a different name than what I expected.
This blog article shows how to deal with it https://zhongchenzhou.wordpress.com/2012/04/29/dynamics-crm-2011-installation-error-the-instance-name-must-be-the-same-as-computer-name/ .You will have to re-point the reporting services too, but that's a bit more intuitive.
Someone else would probably say something along the lines of "my eight year old can do this".
