AX 2009 Client intallation

Finance and Operations/AX Technical Forum

Hi,
Thank you for reading this post. We have Ax 2009 installed on a server whose domain in “ABC” and now we want to install AX 2009 client with debugger options on a machine which is in domain “XYZ”. Also, the server is running on a 64 bit OS and local machine on 32 bit OS, does this mean I may have to consider few more points? We tried the normal client installation but ended up getting error as “Connection with the Application Object Server could not be established”. We tried following all possible options available online, viz.

  1. Ax instance is running

  2. Tried to export the server configuration file to the client

  3. Trying to install client using command prompt option or “Silent install”

My questions are:

  1. Can client be on a different domain than that of a server?

  2. Is yes, where can I get the configuration file for client connection (the MS AX Configuration utility is exactly the same at client to that as server)

Thank you once again,

Hi;

I am not an expert on advanced network related issues. But in your case as long as there is a trust setup correctly between these domains, AX should be able to connect. From the client machine, are you able to ping IP address of AOS server?

And regarding client running in 32 bit, you should create a separate configuration file for 32 bit clients.

Hi Harish,

Thank you very much for your reply! The following are the details:

  • · Are you able to ping IP address of AOS server? – Yes
  • · You should create a separate configuration file for 32 bit clients – How do we do that…

Hi,

Creating a client configuration file is straight forward. On the client machine, do the following -

  • Open the client config utility
  • On connection tab specifiy the details such as AOS name, TCP / IP port etc

Then client manage button and select ‘save as’ option.

NOTE - I don’t have AX 2009 client in front of me. So what I mentioned above is from memory…

Dear Harish,

I had replied to your post with an image in it, the warning said it will send my post for moderators approval, after which nothing really happened…
