Addicted2AX / Addicted2SQL

Cumulative Update 2 for Dynamics AX 2012 is available since a couple of days.
According to the list in this Microsoft support article CU2 includes over 70 new hotfixes plus the hotfixes of CU1.
As always you need to have access to Partner Source or Customer Source if you want to download the Cumulative Update.

Like CU1, CU2 can be installed as slipstream installation, when installing Dynamics AX 2012 on e.g. a client.

First impression:
We have installed CU2 some days ago on our development system. Even though some bugs were fixed a lot of more seem to be unfixed.

Moreover we have the subjective impression that AOS tends to crash more often after installing CU2.
Which actions cause these crashes we cannot say exactly by now. We have some ideas but we need to test some more. We are in close contact to Microsoft support.

Second impression / update (15.12.2011):
Here are two possible reasons which can cause a crash of the AOS:
- Synchronization of AOT while other developers develop on the same system
- Closing the Client (by using the “Close”-button ) while Dynamics AX 2012 is processing and not responding

Our workaround to prevent unnecessary AOS-crashes:
Before a developers starts a synchronization of AOT he informs the other developers. While synchronization of AOT the other developers try not to do any tasks which may cause other parallel synchronization-tasks of AOT.

Just some days after Microsoft officially released Dynamics AX 2012, the 1st Cumulative Update is available.

You need to have access to Partner Source or Customer Source if you want to download the Cumulative Update.
There is also a Knowledge Base Article for the Cumulative Update available: KB2579565 (Cumulative Update 1 for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012).
The access to both, Cumulative Update and KB article, is restricted.
