Summary


In this chapter, we have focused on the infrastructure planning phase of your Dynamics GP implementation. We discussed general concepts and scope of infrastructure planning, as well as minimum requirements and recommendations for client, server, and Remote Desktop Services. Additional configuration considerations and requirements for networks were detailed. The meaning of official support by Microsoft, and Remote Desktop Services-only and Web Client-only implementations were introduced. Test or development environments, add-on products, and placement of shared files were discussed. Details of data backups were talked about and we put together a sample list of additional implementation tasks.

Now that the planning phases are completed, in the next chapter we will start our installation of Microsoft SQL Server, Dynamics GP, and Integration Manager.
