Tell Windows NLB that an AOS has stopped

Just found an interesting post on how to tell the Windows NLB (Network Load Balancing) that an AOS is no longer part of the NLB Cluster:

Compiling AX 2012 with axbuild

Since AX 2012 R2 CU7 we are able to compile AX a bit faster. Therefor you need to follow these 3 steps:

1. Open a command prompt (cmd) as an administrator
2. navigate to the AOS Bin Folder where AxBuild.exe is located:
   cd C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60\Server\NameOfTheAOS\bin
3. Run AxBuild with this command:
   AxBuild.exe xppcompileall /aos=01 /altbin="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60\Client\Bin" /log=C:\AxBuildLog

/aos Needs the number of the AOS which is part of the name of the service.
/altbin is the client folder.
/log defines the folder where the log is stored.
/workers defines the number of parallel processes.

Error during installation of AX Reporting Service Extensions for SSRS

If you get the following error during the installation of the Reporting Srevice Extensions:

Or if you get an error when starting the command: Install-AXReportInstanceExtensions

 You need to check you have an AX Client installed on that machine. Open the Client Configuration and make sure it is pointing to the correct AOS. Try again :)
