Synchronizing...

The document templates need to be built using the Excel Add-in or Word Add-in. If they don't have any Dynamics AX fields bound inside them using the Add-in then they will be ignored.

Did you use the Add-in to build those templates?

Dependencies...

Dynamics AX 2012 uses SharePoint 2010. It will shortly add support for SharePoint 2013 as well.

I am having trouble synchronizing document templates from a SharePoint library inside the Document types Template library in AX. I keep getting an error saying, that no templates was found in the SharePoint library, when O choose synchronize in the Document types screen in AX.

Any help on how to make the document templates available in AXX?

I have put several types of documents in the SharePoint template library, and AX can find the document library under the Document Templates section, but the templates are not shown so I can activate them... Any help is appreciated

Chris - We are in process of upgrading from DAX2009 to 2012 and I have questions on "dependencies". Is the out-of-the-box DAX2012 application dependent on (or to) Sharepoint 2010 or 2013? Does Enterprise Portal work (in DAX 2012) if we have Sharepoint 2007 & have not yet upgraded our Sharepoint product? Thank you for any clarity you can give in this area.

Yes, running in the same virtual machine is the same (as far as this scenario is concerned) as running in the same physical machine.

Chris - Will it work if the Outlook client and the AX client are both running on the same virtual machine instance under terminal services? Or does it have to be the same physical machine?

The Dynamics AX Client and the Outlook client need to be running on the same machine.

The location of the mailbox doesn't matter, so it can be local, remote, or in the cloud (O365).

I hope that clears it up!

Chris - What you mean by "O365 Outlook isn't supported for Dynamics AX 2012 calendar/contact sync. And unfortunately "local Outlook + remote AX Client" is not supported either." ??

Are you saying having MSExchange (Office365) + On-Prem MS Office(Outlook) is not a supported combination? We plan to design the solution with local MSOffice/Outlook instance for the AX users but the mailbox would reside in the cloud(Office 365- Exchange) isn't it a supportable design? Please clarify

Richard, that is correct. Dynamics AX will talk to the local Outlook application to get the information, so as long as you get the information in into Outlook then it will be available to Dynamics AX.

So, if I'm accessing my O365 mailbox via a desktop Outlook client, and the client is on the same machine as AX, will that work? Or is this just a limitation of O365? That wouldn't really be functionally different than desktop Outlook connecting to on prem Exchange right?
