Problem:
Recently, I came across this issue when I had to restore a AX Database backup. Initially, I did copy the database which was of 25 gb size to the server where I wanted to restore, but I ran out of space. So the only option left me with was to do a restore via the network.

Solution

There’s an option wherein you can just type in the network path of the backup file, if your account has enough permissions on the SQL Server service which is running. Check the screenshot below

This will do the trick. Also, if you are interested in SQL Scripts, this can be done very much the scripting way too! Happy SQL’ing

I am currently
reading The Big Switch – Rewiring the world from Edison to Google by
Nicholas Car.  The book draws a colorful
parallel between Thomas Edison’s battle to power the world versus a "Google
type" company’s battle to power the emerging cloud computing technology
shift.  The book sounds a warning to the
major on-premise solution providers such as Microsoft, IBM and Dell, as Nicholas
Car ultimately declares that utility computing will forever change the
computing landscape, and most important, is here to stay. 

 I mention this book because most of
Microsoft’s Worldwide Partner Conference (WPC) was focused on Microsoft’s
Software-Plus- Services (S + S) strategy,
especially as relates to
Windows Azure, Microsoft Online Services,…

Problem:

Recently, while configuring VSTF Version Control Parameters with Dynamics AX 2009, it throwed this error: “The request failed with HTTP Status 405: Method not allowed.”
I was able to browse VSTF folder through IE.

Solution:
This was happening because In version control parameters in AX, I was using port 8090 (Becoz the same port we use when we navigate VSTF Server through IE), When I changed this port to 8080, it started working successfully. This is the port which is used by Team Explorer too.
