A few weeks ago Mark Polino, in conjunction with Packt Publishing published another book, the Building Dashboards with Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 and Excel 2013;
I got a copy of Mark Polino’s Building Dashboards with Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 and Excel 2013 the other week with the intention of working through it following all of the examples. However, the reality is I don’t have the time to do this due to other commitments (both work and outside of work ones).
I restarted the virtual machine running the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Web Client and tried to login but got the beow error message;

As well as the service pack itself there is a new DVD containing the service pack which can be downloaded from the Product Release pages;
With an expected release date of June 2013, the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Cookbook is to be released.
This is an update to the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 by Mark Polino, which was released three years ago. With the new version of Dynamics GP 2013 being released in December last year, it was time for a new version of the book to be written and with Mark was otherwise engaged writing the Building Dashboards with Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 and Excel 2013 so Packt Publishing approached me and asked if I would write the update.
So, in June this year the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Cookbook by Ian Grieve and Mark Polino will be released;
With this book you will:
You can pre-order the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Cookbook direct from Packt Publishing.
Over the last few posts, I’ve covered the installation of the Web Client Runtime, added the IIS role, created a self-signed certificate, installed the Web Client, ran the Configuration Wizard, and installed the GP Resource Web Cache. Now it is time to run the Web Client for the first time to ensure required components are installed on a client; I’m installing a new demo machine so I know one component won’t be installed.
Navigate to the address if the site hosting the Web Client. In the case when you have a self-signed security certificate (which I would only advise for demo or test systems) you will be presented with a warning that the site may not be safe; this is the one time I will recommend to someone that they go against the browser’s advice and click Continue to this website (like my credit card company, MBNA, who have a site with an invalid certificate, going on for six years now, and have the security team advise people to accept the invalid certificate and proceed);

With the Microsoft Dynamics GP Web Client installed and configured the Web Client is now available for use. However, there is one final additional product which can be installed from the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 setup utility and that is the GP Web Resource Cache which improves performance by enabling web client caching.
On a multi-machine deployment the GP Web Resource Cache should be installed on each Session Host machine.
Launch the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 setup utility and under Additional products select GP Web Resource Cache;

In the last post, I showed how to install the Microsoft Dynamics GP Web Client; the next step is to run the Microsoft Dynamics GP Web Client Configuration Wizard from the Windows Start menu;
In this series of posts, I’m taking a look at the steps needed to install the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Web Client. In the previous posts I took a look at installing the Web Client Runtime, adding the IIS Role and a self-signed certificate created. With those steps completed, we can now install the Web Client itself.
This is done from the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 setup utility by selecting Web Client under the Additional Products section;

Earlier in this series of posts, I took a look at installing the Web Client Runtime and adding the IIS server role. In this post I’ll take a look at installing a self-signed certificate (self-signed is really only a valid option for a demo or test system; on a live system you should really use a real certificate.
To create a self-signed one, open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager and click on Server Certificates;
