Microsoft Dynamics AX Client weird screen with MMANDBA and File Menu, AGE_LINK

suddenly I got my ax client screen with weird menus and it did not respond properly.

then I restarted the AOS but no help.
then I deleted all the auc files from C:\Users\<user name>local and then remove the Dynamics AX folders from C:\Users\axdevadmin\AppData\Local and C:\Users\axdevadmin\AppData\Local\Microsoft folder then restarted the server and then all worked fine.

hope this will help some...

Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60\SetupSupport\Sharepoint15.config' Dynamics AX 2012 R3 failed

while doing installation I got below error.
before that my team has installed only AOS and then uninstalled it.
by any chance he just removed the Dynamics AX folder from Program Files folder, but the setup files were listed in Programs list.
so I doubt it was cause of this and below error message was in log file.

then just uninstall the setup support files from program files list and then proceed with installation.
this time it should be ok.

Microsoft RDS , change password for RDS users

while setting RDS for dynamics AX, I got one requirement for password policy, password should expire in 90 days and then users should be able to change the password by their own.

here is how.
1st you can the policy in AD as usual it happens for policy of 90 days.

then use RDS setting to allow users to change password.

in your RD Web server, open IIS and then Sites->Default Web Site->RDWeb->Pages , then on right side, open Application Settings
now change the value "PasswordChangeEnabled" to true, if it was false.

then only the user will be able to browse the page https://<URL.local>/RDWeb/Pages/en-US/password.aspx

you need to send the link in email before their password expires.
also you can set the link in login page by a minor change in the code, so that user can change password at any time.
the page look like below

 

hope this helps someone surely...
