Thanks in advance.

I am looking for the most detailed documentation on this utility that exists. I have found all that I could find from TechNet, but it does not go into enough detail.

I know for a fact that switches exists -regconfig=environment, but very little is published on switches and acceptable values.

The specific issue we are having is if we need to redirect people between different environments. How does AX32.exe read the files (or registry values) created by axclicfg.exe? We need to know this because if more than one choice exists, then we have to direct users to launch the axclicfg.exe and make a drop down choice (say from a Terminal Server).

What if you don't want all environments shown to all users? I attempted an export all into a configuration file combined with a TS RemoteApp using the -regconfig switch in different apps, but other users logging in do not get direct to that configuration file not matter how open the permissions.

Kind Regards,

Mark Simmerman

Mark,

We start AX Client with configuration files. Different configuration files for different purposes or peoples. You can export configuration with axclicfg.exe:

Afterwards you have to modify the AX Client link pointing to the configuration file:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60\Client\Bin\Ax32.exe" "\\sql2\AX-Configs\BERNENTW_CUS.axc"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60\Client\Bin\Ax32.exe" -Development "\\sql2\AX-Configs\BERNENTW_CUS.axc"
