The default Report Server Configuration ID could not be found in the SrSServer table, Dynamics AX 2012

in one of my AX env, my team got below error message while running reports.
then I found that @ System administration> Setup> Business intelligence> Reporting services> Report servers location all were blank.
even values are there you need to check , if it has correct values.
in may case , the BI components were not installed at all, and hence the above error was giving.
hope this will help.

Windows could not start the Microsoft Dynamics AX Object Server 6.0... Error 1503: The Service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion. Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3 CU8

Hi,


while starting an AOS instance, I got below message (my server was slow).
"Windows could not start the Microsoft Dynamics AX Object Server 6.0... Error 1503: The Service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.""
this why, cause the service took more time that the service should take. but after that message the service starts as usual.
to increase the standard timeout, follow below steps to change in registry key.
open registry running "regedit" command and then traverse till HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SYSTEM -> CurrentControlSet -> Control as below and then right click and New -> select DWORD (32-bit) Value.

Now enter Key name "ServicePipeTimeout" and edit and provide value 120000 (similar to 2 mnts) or as per your requirement. (NOTE: keep note this value is global and hence applicable for all the services)

then when you restart the service, it should not give above error message....

hope this helps...

You are currently logged on as local administrator on the computer. you must be logged on as a domain user to manage servers and collections. RDS configurations

while configuring RDS, I logged on to the server and found below error when opened the RDS manager.
"You are currently logged on as local administrator on the computer. you must be logged on as a domain user to manage servers and collections."

So you must logged off and log in with a domain account (make sure the domain account is a local admin).
