Try to open the URL of the web service, both on the server where AX is installed, and on the server where you have Visual Studio installed.

This will tell you if the service is available at all.

If you cantt get to it on the AX server, then something is wrong in AX.

If you can't get to it on the VS server, then its properly a firewall issue.

There are some other topics which suggest that if you have multiple AX instances, or have chosen non-default ports for WCF services, then that is the cause. By default, AX starts from port 8101, and with each new AOS installation it incrementally increases it by 1.

If you check the Inbound ports within the System administration module in AX, you would see the correct service URL and ports.

You may go to your AX AOS Servers' bin folder, and check the Ax32serv.exe.config file and validate the port against what you see in your Microsoft Dynamics AX Server Configuration Utility setting for the WSDL ports.

Then make sure your URL is pointing to the correct port, and also if you have AX Configuration files (*.AXC), they are again pointing to the correct ports. Then finally, refresh the WCF services in the AX Client Configuration Utility too (and export the AXC file if you do use that).

Is the link your enter in IE : ax-sandbox-ii/.../WebSalesOrderRead

If that is not returning some XML, what about other services, do they also not work?

Ok well as far as I can tell it seems like there is some kind of a problem with the setup in AX of this service.

Any information in the Eventlog?

Sorry I might not be to help full, it is a little hard to find problems on a system when you do not have access to it.

So I may have to ask a few questions that might seem stupid.

Rudi,

thanks, i need to resolve this issue somehow so please feel free to ask anything.

What event type i need to look , please see below:

Note: I wanna tell you one thing , In my environment web services are already installed (done by someone) but when i was creating inbound port for my web services, there was no web site in web sites form then i created web site manually and validated it successfully. I was worried that it should be created automatically when we install web services component in AX. does it cause ??

Its the application log you need to check for anything related to the service.

About IIS setup, you should proberly read this document and make sure everyting is setup correct.
