Server 2012 Foundation Install And Configure

Follow the Technet guide to install and configure enterprise search.

AX 2012 is not officially supported on Server 2012, however you may want to give it a try.

Here is my experience installing AX 2012 FPP CU3 on Server 2012 RC running SQL Server 2012 RTM.

Use the new server manager to install.NET Framework 3.5 which is required for SQL Server 2012.

Also install Windows Identity Foundation 3.5 which is required for SharePoint.

Create a new group policy and allow the sql users to logon as service.

When installing reporting services choose install only but dont configure.

This can be done by unzipping the ISO to a file share and copying the CU3 into the updates folder, see technet.

The AX 2012 installer will recognize the updates in this folder and prompt you to accept the license terms.

Also make sure to have the SQL Server 2012 hotfix for AX 2012 in the updates folder.

You have modify the views SQL statement and delete any occurrence.

The easiest way is to copypaste the SQL Statement to notepad, replace, FIRSTFASTROW with and copypaste the cleaned statement back to SQL Server.

Afterwards make sure to clean the BI Configurations and the Server configurations in AX (System Administration Settings).

Dont forget to provide the bcproxy account as business connector account in system service accounts in AX.

However, there are at least 2 prerequisites before the installation can succeed.

Follow the steps in the configuration tool, create databases, web services, report server manager and make sure there is no execution account provided in the Reporting Service configuration.

Install the development components, Debugger, Visual Studio Tools, Trace Parser and.NET Business Connector.

Good news; these components should install and work without any additional steps.

Try to create a simple report, deploy it to SSRS and call it from AX to verify your installation.

However, Mohamed Radwan has made a great video on youtube that guides you through the installation on server 2012.

When you run the sharepoint installation configuration wizard, use the sharepoint account to access the database and the spservice account to run the services (like excel services).

Create a new web application (application management manage web applications new).

Use the bcproxy account to run this web application and make sure you dont use any previous used TCP Ports by SSRS (e.g.

Dont create a web site collection, the AX installer will do this for you.

If youve done the SharePoint configuration correctly, AX will be able to install and configure EP for you.

When you start AX and navigate to Home, you should the see the role center page.
