Dynamics AX 2012: Deploy Client using SCCM 2012
Hi,
I have been trying to deploy the Dynamics Ax 2012 R2 client with SCCM 2012 , as described in this Technet document
http://technet.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/jj841390.aspx
It all works, but the only problem is I have been supplied with the Dynamics disk, which is 5GB, the above instructions say to copy the whole disk which is then downloaded to the local machine - which takes ages and requires a cache size change . I have tried cutting stuff out of the disk and recreating the package, but it fails.
Is there a smaller installer or which bits of the disk do I need?
Thanks

The only way to do it without downloading the whole install disk seems to be scripting it. I sometimes think Microsoft is losing the plot, why not just create a client installer you can use with SCCM - they are both their own products.
For info, I created as an application and a script within that. Then I created all the prereqs as applications and then you can add dependencies that are auto installed by the main deployment. I am beginning to hate AX.

9.On the Distribution Points page of the wizard, under Deployment options, select Download content from distribution point and run locally.
I know nothing about AX (We are downgrading,from what I have seen, from Sage) It is being handled by an external team, who just handed me a disk and shrug their shoulders when I asked them this question.
What files do I need for a client install 32 and 64 bit or is there just a client only disk or similar.
