How to make AX Server work after Upgrading From Windows 8.x to Windows 10

This article illustrate how to make AX Server work after Upgrading From Windows 8 to Windows 10

Recently I have updated my Windows 8 to Windows 10. then I realized that I cannot start neither of my AOS (AX 2012)
Service is still in place. If you tried to start e.g. AX 2012 AOS you would encounter the following errors:
Object Server 01: Error accessing registry: Cannot open key SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dynamics Server\6.0\01. Error code: 0 
Object Server 01: The directory "C:\WINDOWS\system32\\bin" does not exist or access to it has been denied by the operating system.
Object Server 01: The home directory for Axapta (C:\WINDOWS\system32\) does not match the required structure or can not be accessed. Please check installation, configuration and access rights.
If you tried to open AX Server Configuration Utility you would see it completely empty:

The problem is that registry keys located in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dynamics Server\ were deleted during the update.

Proactive solution
If you have not updated yet when the best solution would be to export that node and import after update


Solution
Note: Provided solution works for AX 2012 R3 version.
But if you have already updated and facing this issue then you have the following options:

• Recreate keys manually;
• Import from your colleague;
• Create the reg file yourself by copying and pasting the contents below.

AOS uninstall or repair won't work for this.
For your convenience below is the exported AX 2012  registry keys for Original (installed configuration). Copy the text to notepad, save as reg file and import using regedit.
Do not forget to change the flowing info before importing:

1. AOS instance name
2. DB Server Name
3. DB Name
4. Ports (TCP/IP, WSDL and netTCP) defaults 2712, 8101, 8201.
5. User running the AOS service.
6. Configuration name (optional)

Restart your computer after importing (otherwise you won't see changes in AX Server Configuration Utility.

Dynamics AX 2012 - Enable interunit accounting

This article illustrate how to Enable interunit accounting:-

Definition:- interunit accounting is the requirement that you generate a balanced balance sheet for a specific financial dimension. Therefore, all accounting entries that are made to General ledger must be balanced for the values of the financial dimension. This financial dimension is referred to as the balancing financial dimension.

         1.     Click General ledger > Setup > Ledger

         2.     In the Balancing financial dimension field, select the financial dimension that must be                   balanced in all accounting entries that contain the financial dimension.

·         When you enter that financial dimension in the system, every accounting entry must balance both at the total level and at the level of the financial dimension values. If the accounting entry does not balance at the level of the financial dimension values, additional account entries are created automatically to balance the accounting entry.

·         You must select a financial dimension that is included in all account structures that are assigned to the ledger. Additionally, the balancing financial dimension must not allow for blank spaces as dimension values

3.  Set up accounts for automatic transactions for interunit accounting

             Use the Accounts for automatic transactions form to specify accounts that are not set up                      elsewhere for automatic transactions. If these accounts are not set up, posting is stopped.

1.     Click General ledger > Setup > Posting > Accounts for automatic transactions.

2.     Click New. In the Posting type field, select Interunit - debit.

3.     Enter the main account where transactions that have the Interunit - debit posting type are posted.

4.     Click New. In the Posting type field, select Interunit - credit.

5.     Enter the main account where transactions that have the Interunit - credit posting type are posted.
