• Consider the account you are using to install the SharePoint farm. Typically this account is referred to the SharePoint Setup and Farm account, and you use it again to configure the farm and potentially install more SharePoint servers into the same Farm. You may need to share the credentials of this account with other IT Pros, so avoid using your own personal account.
• Normally you want a dedicated service account for SharePoint. This is an unattended account that has broad permissions on SharePoint. The administration web application will run under this account. 
• It is also normal to have a dedicated service accounts for several of the various services you can setup in SharePoint, but that is out of scope for this article. 

• Install AX2012 Client and Management Utilities. Point the configuration to the environment you want to install the first SharePoint site. Both the local configuration and the business connector configuration should be pointing correctly and have working WCF configurations.  
• From the SharePoint Administration Site, you need to manually create a new "Managed Account". From the Home page, under Security and General Security, you will find "Configure managed accounts" and from there you can register the business connector account as a new managed account. The SharePoint sites running Enterprise Portal needs to run under this managed account. 
• From the SharePoint Administration Site you also need to start the Claims to Windows Token Service (aka C2WTS). From Home, under System Settings and Servers you will find "Manage Services on Server". Locate the C2WTS and start it from here. If you start this from Services under Windows Administrative Tools (Control Panel) and not from SharePoint itself, the service will be in a faulty state and you'll get in trouble when installing Enterprise Portal. Trust me, I've been there.

1. Make sure Dynamics AX local configuration and business connector configuration points to right AOS, and do not forget to refresh and save the WCF configuration to this config.
2. Create a new Web Application. Each Portal needs to run on its own Web Application and isolated application pool. Give it a good name, both the site and the application pool. Also give the Content Database a correlating and good name. The managed account must be the one you created earlier using the business connector account. I like to put these sites on ports like 81, 82, 83, etc.
3. When the application is created, you are ready to install Enterprise Portal using AX2012 Setup. On the step where you select Web Application you choose the one you created in step 2. Give the site a good name, like "DynamicsAXDev" or something that makes it easy to understand what environment this site will support. Imagine looking at the URL in the browser and you can easily see from the address what environment you're currently at.
4. Assuming the installation at step 3 went through successfully,  your next step is to make sure the new site always connects to the right environment. Copy a working AX Configuration file (AXC-file) locally to the server. Make sure it has an updated and correct WCF-configuration in it. I tend to put the file under c:\inetpub\wwwroot\. Give it a good name (like DEV.axc). I know the official documentation says the file can be on a UNC-share, but I never got that to work, so a local file seems to work ok. Finally, you need to put a reference to this file inside the web.config for this particular Web Application. The file is normally located under C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\81 (given this application runs on port 81). Open the file in some notepad or text editor and put in a new XML section:
   
   
   
   Now you can be sure the Web Application points to the right environment independently of whatever is changed in the business connector configuration settings on this server. I put the section after the System.Web section.
5. Finally, I recommend loading the site itself and edit the Site Permissions. You probably want to make sure either Domain Users or some dedicated AD User Group has at least Read permissions.

1. Change owner of the job to the SQL Server User that has the necessary permissions to run the report
2. Grant the SQL Server User permissions to operate on the the Report Server Database (It does needs permissions to inject data, however I gave it full db_owner permissions)
3. Test the job by doing a manual run

1. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Dynamics Server\6.0\01\Original (installed configuration). The last key, Original (installed configuration), is the key name for the current server configuration. If your system uses a different configuration that the original installed configuration, navigate to the currently active configuration.
2. Create a string registry value called ‘connectioncontext’ and set the value to 1.

• You are using a dedicated setup account and this account is a domain user
• You are local admin on the server where you plan to setup the gateway. Basically, your setup account is listed in the Administrators Group (under Computer Management, Local Users and Groups, Groups, Administrators).
• You have access to the SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) with your setup account. Check by right-click SSAS instance, choose Properties and look at the list of users under Security.
• You have a user who is Global Admin in Azure AD. This could be the setup user, synced to Azure AD from the On-Premise domain, but it's not necessary. The point is this user will have access to setup things on PowerBI which currently requires Office 365 Global Admin rights. This may change in the near future, hopefully.

• You either explicit login to the tenant and subscription:
  Login-AzureRmAccount -TenantId TENANT-GUID -SubscriptionId SUBSCRIPTION-GUID
• Or login "normally" and then run select with tenant and subscription:
  Select-AzureRmSubscription -TenantId TENANT-GUID -SubscriptionId SUBSCRIPTION-GUID
• Or you could login and set context using the following command:
  Get-AzureRmSubscription -TenantId TENANT_GUID -SubscriptionId SUBSCRIPTION-GUID | Set-AzureRmContext

• Upgrade Finance and Operations to the latest platform update
• Process for moving to the latest update of Finance and Operations
• Apply a deployable package to a Finance and Operations environment

• I base this script off from Automys own code, and it is heavily inspired by the commits done by other users out there in the community. I will refer to the project on GitHub where you will find contributors and authors. 
• I've only tested and used the script for ARM Resources
• I removed references to credentials and certificates and it relies on using "Run As Account". Setting it "Run As Account" in Azure is very easy and quick to do.

The script

<#
        .SYNOPSIS
        This Azure Automation runbook automates the scheduled shutdown and startup of resources in an Azure subscription. 

        .DESCRIPTION
        The runbook implements a solution for scheduled power management of Azure resources in combination with tags
        on resources or resource groups which define a shutdown schedule. Each time it runs, the runbook looks for all
        supported resources or resource groups with a tag named "AutoShutdownSchedule" having a value defining the schedule, 
        e.g. "10PM -> 6AM". It then checks the current time against each schedule entry, ensuring that resourcess with tags or in tagged groups 
        are deallocated/shut down or started to conform to the defined schedule.

        This is a PowerShell runbook, as opposed to a PowerShell Workflow runbook.

        This script requires the "AzureRM.Resources" modules which are present by default in Azure Automation accounts.
        For detailed documentation and instructions, see: 

        CREDITS: Initial version credits goes to automys from which this script started :
        https://automys.com/library/asset/scheduled-virtual-machine-shutdown-startup-microsoft-azure

        .PARAMETER Simulate
        If $true, the runbook will not perform any power actions and will only simulate evaluating the tagged schedules. Use this
        to test your runbook to see what it will do when run normally (Simulate = $false).

        .PARAMETER DefaultScheduleIfNotPresent
        If provided, will set the default schedule to apply on all resources that don't have any scheduled tag value defined or inherited.

        Description | Tag value
        Shut down from 10PM to 6 AM UTC every day | 10pm -> 6am
        Shut down from 10PM to 6 AM UTC every day (different format, same result as above) | 22:00 -> 06:00
        Shut down from 8PM to 12AM and from 2AM to 7AM UTC every day (bringing online from 12-2AM for maintenance in between) | 8PM -> 12AM, 2AM -> 7AM
        Shut down all day Saturday and Sunday (midnight to midnight) | Saturday, Sunday
        Shut down from 2AM to 7AM UTC every day and all day on weekends | 2:00 -> 7:00, Saturday, Sunday
        Shut down on Christmas Day and New Year?s Day | December 25, January 1
        Shut down from 2AM to 7AM UTC every day, and all day on weekends, and on Christmas Day | 2:00 -> 7:00, Saturday, Sunday, December 25
        Shut down always ? I don?t want this VM online, ever | 0:00 -> 23:59:59


        .PARAMETER TimeZone
        Defines the Timezone used when running the runbook. "GMT Standard Time" by default.
        Microsoft Time Zone Index Values:
        https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms912391(v=winembedded.11).aspx

        .EXAMPLE
        For testing examples, see the documentation at:

        https://automys.com/library/asset/scheduled-virtual-machine-shutdown-startup-microsoft-azure

        .INPUTS
        None.

        .OUTPUTS
        Human-readable informational and error messages produced during the job. Not intended to be consumed by another runbook.
