You can specify the location of the Help service on your LAN by entering the service’s URL in the Help system parameters form. This setting is stored in Application Object Server (AOS) and is applied to all clients the next time they connect.

When you install the Microsoft Dynamics AX Help server, the URL that you assign to the Help service is stored in AOS. If you install the Help server on the Internet Information Services (IIS) Default Web Site, the URL is typically http://<host:port>/DynamicsAX6HelpServer/HelpService.svc on port 80. For more information about how to install the Help server, see Install the help server.

Follow these steps to set a new location for the Help service.

  1. Click System administration > Setup > System > Help system parameters to open the form.

  2. In the Help service URL: field, type the URL.

  3. Click Close.
