Dynamics AX 2012 Barebones Configuration Guide #1 – Configuring A Base Dynamics AX 2012 Test System Is Available

With the Release of the Dynamics AX R3 demonstration image earlier on this month I decided to create a new demonstration company, and as I was doing that I thought that it would be a good idea to also kill two birds with one stone, and use it as a reason to finish off the first book within my Barebones Configuration Guide series.
