Scripts for resolving issues in on-premises environments

This article will serve as a central repository for scripts that you can use to fix issues in on-premises environments. These scripts must usually be run as pre-deployment or post-deployment scripts.

For more information about how to resolve issues in on-premises environments, see Troubleshoot on-premises deployments.

Prepare your environment for script execution

  1. Configure the execution of pre-deployment and post-deployment scripts. For more information, see Local agent pre-deployment and post-deployment scripts.

  2. Add the following code to your Predeployment.ps1 script.

    # This has to be filled out
    # $agentShare = '<Agent-share path>' # E.g '\\LBDContosoShare\agent''
    
    $agentShare = '\\servername\D365FFOAgent'
    Write-Output "AgentShare is set to $agentShare"
    
    # The scripts make the assumption that the wp folder only contains one folder for the environment name.
    # If you have multiple folders in there from older deployments, then please remove those.
    # It is not recommended to use the same agent share for multiple environments.
    
    #& $agentShare\scripts\TSG_UpdateFRDeployerConfig.ps1 -agentShare $agentShare
    
    #& $agentShare\scripts\TSG_WindowsAzureStorage.ps1 -agentShare $agentShare
    
    #& $agentShare\scripts\TSG_SysClassRunner.ps1 -agentShare $agentShare
    
    #& $agentShare\scripts\TSG_RemoveFilesFromZip.ps1 -agentShare $agentShare -filesToRemove 'Packages\TaxEngine\bin\Microsoft.Dynamics365.ElectronicReportingMapping.dll','Packages\TaxEngine\bin\Microsoft.Dynamics365.ElectronicReportingMapping.pdb','Packages\TaxEngine\bin\Microsoft.Dynamics365.ElectronicReportingServiceContracts.dll','Packages\TaxEngine\bin\Microsoft.Dynamics365.ElectronicReportingServiceContracts.pdb','Packages\TaxEngine\bin\Microsoft.Dynamics.ElectronicReporting.Instrumentation.dll','Packages\TaxEngine\bin\Microsoft.Dynamics.ElectronicReporting.Instrumentation.pdb','Packages\TaxEngine\bin\Microsoft.Dynamics365.LocalizationFrameworkCore.dll','Packages\TaxEngine\bin\Microsoft.Dynamics365.LocalizationFrameworkCore.pdb','Packages\TaxEngine\bin\Microsoft.Dynamics365.LocalizationFrameworkForAx.dll','Packages\TaxEngine\bin\Microsoft.Dynamics365.LocalizationFrameworkForAx.pdb'
    
    #& $agentShare\scripts\TSG_EnableGMSAForAOS.ps1 -agentShare $agentShare -gmsaAccount contoso\svc-AXSF$
    #& $agentShare\scripts\TSG_EnableDixfService.ps1 -agentShare $agentShare -gmsaAccount contoso\svc-Dixf$ -DMFShare "\\servername\dixf-share"
    
  3. From the relevant section of this article, copy the code that you require to fix your issue, and paste it into a new file. Save this file in the same folder where your Predeployment.ps1 script is stored. The file name must match the title of the section that you copied the code from. Repeat this step for other issues that you must fix.

  4. In the Predeployment.ps1 script, in the code that you added earlier, uncomment the lines that invoke the scripts that you want to use.

TSG_SysClassRunner.ps1

The following script is used to fix an issue that occurs when SysClassRunner is run in some versions of the platform. For more information about this issue, see SysClassRunner doesn't run successfully.

TSG_RemoveFilesFromZip.ps1

The following script is used to fix an issue that occurs for some customers who were previously on versions 10.0.5 through 10.0.9. Due to how the prepare process works, there are some older versions of DLLs that remain in the TaxEngine folder, which in newer releases have been moved to different module folders. This script ensures that these DLLs are removed from the downloaded asset, before being deployed to the AOS nodes.

The following script is used to change the account the AOS runs under from an Active Directory (AD) user to a group Managed Service Account (gMSA).

Note

This script can only be used starting with version 10.0.17. You will need to reinstall the printers on each AOS node as they are not available to the gMSA account. For more information, see Install network printer devices in on-premises environments. This script has been updated to work with Application version 10.0.32, but also works with older Application versions.
