Exam MB6-705 :: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3 CU8 Installation and Configuration


It's certification time!  Lets explore MB6-705, and learn something about installing, configuring and generally getting our hands dirty with an AX2012 R3 CU8 (or later) installation.  If you have access to the Microsoft Dynamics Learning Portal do try to pass through the '80672AE' training.  I highly recommend it although there is never enough content in the Security section for my needs.  Much of the information in MSDN is repeated in the 372 page AX 2012 Installation Guide (marked as IG below, version January 2015) and at the time of writing information such as Slipstreaming I could not find on MSDN at all.
Personally I found this exam difficult due to the wide range of competencies and knowledge required.
