1000 Downloads of Windows 8 Microsoft Dynamics Business Analyzer

You might be one of the few people in the Dynamics GP community that hasn't downloaded the new Windows 8 app that allows you to surface SRS charts, graphs, and KPI's that customers and partners have built for Dynamics GP.  Go to the Windows Store on Windows 8 and search for "Business Analyzer".

    Thanks for the comment Mariano!  I was going to actually blog about this on the Support Blog in a few weeks.  You are correct that due to a Windows 8 Security issue you cannot run the Business Analyzer application and SSRS on the same Windows 8 machine. You can work around this problem by deploying a low resource Hyper-V dedicated to running SSRS.  Windows 8 comes with Hyper-V built in, so as long as you have the hardware you can use this as a solution for demo purposes on the road. Thanks! Chris Bulson Sr. Support Engineer

    I may have spoken too soon on this!  In an instance where you are on the road you aren't going to be on a domain and able to use Windows Authentication to connect.  This will still work if you want a single machine setup though for doing Remote Session demos. Thanks!

    Chris, Not sure I am following. If I am on my machine which is NOT a part of any domain, my only option still is a Hyper-V instance of Windows 8. What did I miss from your second response?
