Dynamics CRM - how to find unmanaged entities not within solution - dynamics-crm-2013

I'm using Dynamics CRM 2013. An entity has been imported via an unmanaged Solution. The Solution has been removed, but because it was unmanaged, the entity is still within CRM and causing issues.
How can I see all entities installed under the "default" solution. E.g. not attached to a solution. I believe in CRM 2011 there was a customize button, but I cannot see the option in 2013.

It is under Settings then Customization then choose Customize the System. This will take you to the Default solution.

CRM 2013 : Customization migration tool

I am working on CRM 2013 and want to migrate the javascript,UI changes done on one copy of CRM 2013 to another copy of CRM 2013.Both databases of CRM 2013 are of same organizations(means having exact same structure) only difference is one contains latest clients data.
Is there any good tool which can automate this process?

Why don't you want to use standard approach called solutions?
To migrate changes you can create Solution, add changed components into it, export solution from source system and then import this solution to target system.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM Website

I had a genius idea today to try and create a website that would access our CRM database and will report on support cases.
The idea would be to have a page that would be visible in the office and members of the support team can view the current status of support cases.
I've downloaded the CRM SDK and I've read a couple of manuals, but I can't seem to find a decent starting point for a complete rookie..
Are there are good tutorials out there on how to create a website that will communicate with CRM's database, preferrably for a VB.NET application.
There are several products that implement your idea.
The most famous one is the Adxstudio, you can find a community edition (also for CRM 4.0) at this address:

After you can check the source code, but they use C#

Is there an easy way to create a custom dashboard for users of the Project Portal for TFS?

This might be a better question for https://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/, but since i am using TFS there may be differences, i am not sure.
I need to create a dashboard for a couple users that outlines our current sprint queries. They only need to see kind of the same hierarchy we would see if viewing a tree view in Visual Studio's Team Explorer (when running a tree query).
There are Sharepoint 2010 Dashboards.

Edit: Sharepoint 2010 configuration for compatibility explained here will be needed I guess.

Migration from SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2010

I am looking for a migration tool. We want to upgrade from SharePoint Server 2007 to SharePoint 2010 in a new environment. We need to have functionality to granulary select which content to migrate and eaven select to map to new structure in the new solution.
We want to tag the content migrated.
The migration tools we are considering are AvePoint, Axceler Davinci, Metalogix.
I'm doing migration scenarios for a consultant firm based in Montreal. First of all, I think you have the correct thinking about how you want to get this done. Doing a SharePoint upgrade (database upgrade) usually bring your SharePoint 2007 problems over to SharePoint 2010.
Here's what we usually do :
Define governance for the new SharePoint platform
Define the new Information Architecture
Implement the new Information Architecture (build sites, lists, libraries, etc.)
Migrate the content over
Tools such as Sharegate (www.share-gate.com) can allow you to do some mapping from your old content source over to the new one.
Hopefully, this will help you!

Sharepoint Server 2010 Layout change

I have 2 questions about sharepoint 2010.
When will Sharepoint Server 2010 released ?
Is Sharepoint Server 2010 easy customized in terms of layout aspect ?
Description:We have a government client. They care UI more than other aspects such as functionality. So this B/S project will have a very customizable UI, and the client is highly likely to modify the UI at any time. I have reviewed Sharepoint Server 2010 that it is easy to make different themes, but I am wondering if it is still easy to modify website's layout.
SharePoint 2010 has already been released to RTM and is available through an MSDN subscription.
As for customization... It's as customizable as you want it to be, and even more so than 2007.
If they are going to modify the UI at any time, what elements are you talking about? The masterpage? layout pages, or just content withing the sites?
Themes are simple css files that don't do much more than change styles,fonts, colors etc. Masterpages give you all the muscle of ASP.NET so you can pretty much go to town on them. You do need to be careful of the new Ribbon UI though.
