Installing Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012

Hi Guys,

Good day!

I am implementing Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012. I have three servers, one is the Domain/Active Directory Server, the other is the Application Server and the other one is the Database Server. I joined the Application and Database Servers to the Domain Server. Upon installing the AX 2012 to the Application Server, I got an error message stating something like this “Cannot connect to the database server (Computer Name\Instance Name)”. Can anybody help me how to fix this?

Looking forward to hear from you very soon guys.

Regards,

AML

Hi,

I’m on AX 2009 so I can’t tell if it’s the same as 2012, on your AOS Server, go to AX Server configuration utility, you should have a database connection tab, check if you have your server name, database name and port correctly set. also check if your database instance name is correct and running on your database server

Hi,

Actually problem was you don’t have database permissions …

  • Do Like , Go to SQL server management studio-> Databases-> select your database → Go to security tab ->Users → In that add your user credentials like (Domainname\computername) …
  • select your user → GO to properties → In Database role membership → check the db_reader ,db_datawriter , db_ddladmin checkboxes…

Tnx

Hi Lakshmi,

Thanks for the reply,

We already solve the issue, the only problem is that the domain server is not configured well, we just removed it and install it again.

We already installed the MS Dynamics AX 2012 in the Application Server but after installing it, we can’t generate any reports. Do you have any idea on how can we fix it?

Hope to hear from you very soon.

Thanks!

Regards,

Hi,

In AX 2012 all standard reports are SSRS reports … So, 1st Install Reporting services extensions through Setup wizard… After that Install Analysis Services Configurations for deploying the reports…
