In this series of posts I’m going to take a look at the Config AD product from Fastpath which adds single sign-on to the Dynamics GP desktop client; you can find my series index here.
The Config AD Desktop requires that Config AD itself be installed. The installation on the client is the same as on the Domain Controller with one exception.
On the Add Active Directory Right-Click Menu tab set the option to Don’t add either menu:

With the service installed, the next stage is to configure the service. This is done by accessing Config AD and then opening the Config AD Options () and then select the Service tab:
On this tab there are several options which can be enabled/disabled:
As well as the above options, you also need to specify the Login name that should be used to access SQL Server.

Config AD includes a service which can run on any machine within the network; the service can automatically log users out after a period of inactivity and will also disable/delete GP user accounts when the AD user is deleted.
A service account is needed to run the Config AD service; this account needs to be a Domain User account and also needs to be either a Domain Admin or have the following permissions:
With a suitable service account, find the Fastpath.ADServiceSetup.msi in the /FPConfigAD 5.4.0.0/Config AD Service 3.3.0 folder.

This month marks 10 years since Packt Publishing embarked on its mission to deliver effective learning and information services to IT professionals. In that time it has published over 2,000 titles and helped projects become household names and awarding over $400,000 through its Open Source Project Royalty Scheme.
To celebrate this milestone, from June 26th, Packt is offering all of its eBooks and Videos at just $10 each for 10 days (four days remaining); this promotion covers every title and there are no restrictions on the number of titles that can be bought by July 5th.
There was a recent discussion about Multi-Dimensional Analysis (MDA) and Analytical Accounting (AA) between a group of Microsoft MVPs for Microsoft Dynamics GP; this group involved people from at least three continents and resulted in a fairly unanimous opinion that Multi-Dimensional Analysis was a useful module.
More useful in many ways than Analytical Accounting which was intended to replace it. The problem being that while MDA was fairly simple and easy to use, AA was fairly complex and clunky. While the reporting options for AA are more comprehensive than MDA, they are still not up to the standard of much of Dynamics GP itself.
To this end a suggestion has been logged on Microsoft Connect which we would appreciate you voting on. Suggestions on MS Connect with a lot of votes stand a good chance of being included in a later version of Microsoft Dynamics GP.
Please visit and vote on this suggestion.

Once a user has been created or associated, the first time that user logs into GP they will need to link the GP and Windows passwords. When Dynamics GP is started, the user ID will default in; enter the password (if the user was created from Config AD the password will be set to the Config AD Options) and click OK:

In this series of posts I’m going to take a look at the Config AD product from Fastpath which adds single sign-on to the Dynamics GP desktop client; you can find my series index here.
The point of Fastpath’s Config AD is to make life easier by removing the number of usernames and passwords a user needs to be entered to access Dynamics GP. In the previous posts in this series I have associated an exiting AD user with an existing Dynamics GP user and then created a new GP user from an AD one.
For the user to benefit from this integration we need to install some code into Dynamics GP. This is done by installing the Fastpath Single Sign-On. In the FPSSO folder double click the setup.exe. On the security warning click on Run:

In the last post, I took a look at associating an AD user with an existing Dynamics GP user; in this one I’ll be taking a look at creating a new Dynamics GP user from an AD one.
To do this, create an AD User in Active Directory Users and Groups and then right click and select Create Dynamics User. This will launch the Config AD logon with the first window show being ther Connect To Database one:

The Inside Microsoft Dynamics GP blog started a series of Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 R2 Feature of the day posts the other day. As they did with the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Feature of the Day posts they are doing them as short posts containing a PowerPoint slide show. I am translating these from the PowerPoints into posts; you can find my series index here.
The thirty-sixth Feature of the Day covered is Email by Document Type. This new functionality gives the end-user the flexibility to send emails based on the actual type of the document; for example they may want to send quotes to a different email address that the actual invoice. This now can be accomplished using a simple interface.
The Customer Maintenance email tab () has been updated with a new Email Address column containing an ellipsis button:

The thirty-fifth Feature of the Day covered is Print Remaining Documents. Users will now have the ability to email and print batches or statements in one step rather than having to handle those that will be emailed or printed separately.
In the PM, RM, SOP and POP Batch windows the UI will not change; the user will simply mark both options to Print and Send Documents in E-mail.
The Print Receivables Statements form will see the introduction of a new option for use hen emailing statements:
