Start the AOS and Client

1.       Start the AOS. Typically:

a.       Open a command prompt

b.      Enter net start aos60$01

2.       Start the Microsoft Dynamics AX client

If you cannot log in, run a SQL command to update the USERINFO table to allow you to log in:

update userinfo

set

      networkdomain = 'YourDomain',

      networkalias = 'YourAlias',

      SID = 'YourSID'

where ID = 'Admin'

Also check your client configuration if you customized it. If you have a client configuration that includes a company that does not exist in the dataset, your client will not be able to connect to the AOS. Just remove the non-existent company from the client configuration to allow the client to connect.

3.       Go to System Administration > Setup > System > System service accounts

4.       Enter the account to use for the Business Connector proxy
