Hi Faisal

There is a fix about this issue.

KB 2830441 Unable to install Enterprise Portal (EP) on SharePoint 2013

Symptoms :

When you try to deploy Enterprise Portal for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 in an environment that is running Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013, the deployment is unsuccessful.

Cause :

This problem occurs because the prerequisite validation utility in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 prevents the installation of Enterprise Portal on SharePoint Server 2013.

Below the link from where download the fix :

Hi Denis,

Do I need to install this hotfix as I have already installed CU7 which may include this hotfix also. I got it from this link ax2012tech.blogspot.ae/.../ax-2012-r2-cu6-enterprise-portal.html

I have also installed sharepoint updates for March and June. It did not work either.

I liked your way of describing. Let me describe more in details about my scenario.

1. I have installed AX 2012 R2 with CU7 on applicaiton server.

2. I have installed SP 2013 with March and June updates on another server.

3. I have been installing Enterprise portal on Sharepoint server

4. I choose Enterprise portal, Business connector, Client (for testing) components to install from AX setup

I am still getting error that sharpoint updates are required.

Hi Faisal

I know that CU7 is been released after the KB2830441 and KB2824690.

But I suggest you to move both hotfix on "Updates" AX installation folder and try again with the installation.

Yes, I did follow the steps written into this link, I am pasting these steps here for your reference and also please have a look into my comments on each step. I also mentioned the steps which I followed and in what sequence.

You must install one of the following updates if you plan to run Enterprise Portal on either Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2013 or Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013. Choose an update that matches the SharePoint version on which you plan to deploy Enterprise Portal.

Update for Microsoft SharePoint Enterprise Server 2013 (KB2767999)

Update for Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2013 (KB2768000)

[Faisal] March and June updates for sharepoint server have been installed and later I also installed the SP1 for sharepoint server 2013.

After you install an update, you must run the SharePoint 2013 Products Configuration wizard.

[Faisal] I ran this wizard before installing any updates, I ran this wizard right after the installation of sharepoint server 2013. I don’t know will it impact on the installation process of Enterprise portal or not. If Yes, then what impact this has been done on the installation and where It has done changes which would create issues in Enterprise Portal installation.

Download and install the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 setup hotfix (KB2830441).

[Faisal] I have installed CU7 of Dynamics AX 2012 R2 which was released after this hotfix and includes this hotfix too. Do I really need to install this hotfix after CU7?

Download and install the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 claims-mode authentication hotfix (KB2824690).

[Faisal] I have installed CU7 of Dynamics AX 2012 R2 which was released after this hotfix and includes this hotfix too. Do I really need to install this hotfix after CU7?

Reboot the server and then install Enterprise Portal. For more information about how to install Enterprise Portal or Enterprise Search, see Install Enterprise Portaland Install Microsoft Dynamics AX Enterprise Search.

I also want to add one more thing here; I have followed this architecture for the Dynamics AX installation.

Server 1: Dynamics AX Application server Dynamics AX 2012 R2 with CU7 has been installed

Server 2: SQL Database server Dynamics AX 2012 R2 reporting extensions and analysis services has been installed through Dynamics AX setup wizard. All the reports have been deployed and are running fine.

Server 3: Sharepoint server 2013 I have been trying to install following components of Dynamics AX on this server; Enterprise Portal and .Net Business Connector. When I run the pre-requisites wizard it gives me the error message which I mentioned in this support question. I know the Dynamics AX wizard only validates all pre-requisites on the current (local) machine where this wizard is being running. How this wizard will know that required updates or CU has been installed on application server as required in step 3 and 4 in your suggested Microsoft link.

Could you check the installation log for further details. I am curious to see where it fails in particular.

Hi Faisal and Santhana,

Recently i have configured the same AX2012R2 Cu7 with Sharepoint 2013, installation got success without any error.

technet.microsoft.com/.../dn169057.aspx

As mentioned in the above link, could you please try installing the sharepoint server 2013 alone, do not install the sp1 and do not run the product configuration wizard at this moment.

After installing the (KB2767999) article for your sharepoint server 2013, then you can run the product configuration wizard.

Then you try installing the AX2012R2 CU7 with this hotfix (KB2830441), in my case i do not require the claims mode authentication hotfix, so i did not install this hotfix (KB2824690).

Then run the AX installation media got the warning to start the Claims to Windows token service then started the service and then install the EP with the web application Sharepoint-80, got the success message.

Hi Santhana,

Yes I have installed the Enterprise Portal on AX 2012 R2 with CU7. I used to slipstream process to install EP as I was installing EP on a seperate Sharepoint server other than the AOS server.

I followed these steps;

1- Download AX 2012 CU7 and extracted and include the extracted folder in the Update folder in your AX 2012 R2 DVD, you may need to follow this link for more details technet.microsoft.com/.../hh378076.aspx (you need to name the folder inside update with the correct KB name)

2- Run the setup which will automatically lookup the update folder while you trying to install Enterprise Portal

3- Now you should be able to bypass this validation message correctly

Can you please tell me what type of error you are having ?
