The following table lists the minimum network requirements for client/server connections in a Microsoft Dynamics AX system.
| Value | Application Object Server (AOS) | Database |
|
Bandwidth (b) |
100 MB per second |
100 MB per second |
|
Latency (l) |
Less than 5 milliseconds |
Less than 5 milliseconds |
The total response time for running a task in Microsoft Dynamics AX can be expressed by the following formula:
| • |
Response time = (Number of calls to and from the server * l) + Number of bytes sent/b |
We recommend that you consider the following types of connections when planning your system:
| • |
For a system that uses a local area network (LAN), connect directly through a Microsoft Dynamics AX client. |
| • |
For a system that uses a wide area network (WAN), connect using Windows Server 2003 Terminal Services or another remote connection product. Review the guidelines for deploying terminal services to determine the number of WAN connections you will need. |
Domain requirements
The computer running Microsoft Dynamics AX must also have access to computers in the same Active Directory service domain running Active Directory configured in native mode.

This version of Microsoft Dynamics AX supports Unicode collations. The following are the requirements for the Unicode collation you select:
| • |
Must be case-insensitive |
| • |
Must match the Microsoft Windows locale of the computers running instances of Application Object Server (AOS). |
If you are setting up a new Microsoft Dynamics AX installation, we recommend that you choose a Windows collation, rather than a SQL collation.
Oracle Database versions supported
Microsoft Dynamics AX supports Oracle Database 10g. Microsoft Dynamics AX 4.0 Service Pack 2 supports the 64-bit version of Oracle Database 10g.
Note: For new implementations of Microsoft Dynamics AX, we recommend that customers using an Oracle database run on a Windows operating system. Oracle running on Unix is supported for issues that we can reproduce when Oracle is running on a Windows operating system. In future versions of Microsoft Dynamics AX, Oracle running on Unix will not be supported.
Authentication requirements
| • |
Microsoft Dynamics AX requires that the database use Windows Authentication to authenticate users. |
| • |
For Oracle, be sure you that have installed and configured the Windows native authentication adapter. See your Oracle documentation for details. |
Other requirements
The computer running the Microsoft Dynamics AX database server must also have access to computers in the same domain running Active Directory configured in native mode.
| • |
To support reporting functionality, the database server must also have access to a computer in the same domain running SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services, SP1. |
| • |
To support analysis functionality, the database server must also have access to computers in the same domain running SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services, SP4, or SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services, SP1. |
File server requirements
You may place the Microsoft Dynamics AX application files on any Windows-based computer. There are no minimum requirements identified for the computer. The computer must be part of a domain with access to computers in the same Active Directory domain running Active Directory configured in native mode.
Note: The share where the application files are installed cannot be configured as a Distributed File System (DFS).
