Microsoft Dynamics AX 2013 R3

Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3 runs in Cloud Computing.

I am passionate with  Microsoft Technologies such as Dynamics AX and Window Azure cloud computing.  In addition, I wanted to proof a concepts of Microsoft Dynamics in Cloud Computing.

I have setup and  configured three virtual servers in Microsoft Azure cloud computing.

• SERVER 1 - AD-SVR-01
• Windows Server 2012 R2 Data Center (x64 Bit)
• Domain Controller 
• SERVER 2 -  AX2012-R3-AOS
• Window Server 2012 Data Center (x64 Bit)
• Microsoft Dynamics AX 213 R3 Application Object Server
• SERVER 3 - AX2013-R3-SQL
• Window Server 2012 R2 Data Center (x64 Bit)
• Microsoft SQL Server 2012 with SP1

Next, I uploaded Microsoft Dynamics and Microsoft SQL Server software.  Then, I  remote

desktop (RDP) into those servers and perform setup, install and configuration on SQL Server 2012 and Dynamics AX 2012 R3.
