Problem: Recently while doing an upgrade from Beta > RTM > SP1, quite a few times I encountered this problem of AOS Service not ready to start.

Error #1: When I start the AOS Service, it gives me the following error, This error doesn’t make that much of a sense:

Error #2: Further navigating to Event Viewer, I can see exact error,

Solution – This happens because of the fact that database would be having a older version of the sp’s which the new AOS can’t execute. In my case, I was upgrading from a pre-RTM version to RTM one, So the database was a pre-RTM one, Usually it’s the setup tool’s responsibility to upgrade the Database when you run the AOS pointing to the old database. But, sometimes it fails to do that way. In my case, I had to restart the machine after the uninstallation of the pre-rtm bits and then again installed RTM bits and gave it a try and it worked. Same case mighthappen when you upgrade from RTM > SP1.

Recently, I was trying to use Microsoft Active Synch 4.5 to Synch my Windows Mobile with my laptop OS i.e. Windows Server 2008.

But, it seems it doesn’t work that way.

Solution – Windows Server 2008 supports in built feature that is Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1. In order to make this work, you need to Add an option feature called “Desktop Experience”. This you can find in Administrative Tools > Server Manager > Features > Add Feature > Check mark Desktop Experience and there you go.

Today I installed the beta version of Windows 7 on my laptop on top of my Vista. My Vista already had an AX installation, but it didn’t work after the upgrade to Windows 7. So I re-installed the developer flavour of Dynamics AX 2009 (all on one box), and pointed it at my exisitng DB. And without having to install any drivers or other updates I had AX2009 RTM running on Windows 7.

If you get the chance; make sure to take Windows 7 for a spin.
