Today I’m announcing the first part of the new Dynamics 365 ALM guide for Finance and Operations (F&O) is now available!
This guide focuses on the unified development and administration experiences and the significant changes coming in the next few months. I’ve completely rewritten it from scratch, ensuring that all screenshots are up-to-date to make the process easier to follow.
Over time, countless changes have impacted ALM for Dynamics 365. After writing the original ALM posts, I realized it was more efficient to create a new guide rather than amend the old content. Believe me, it’s easier to write from the beginning than reviewing what I already have…
I’ve been working on the ISVLicenseGenerator open source tool for some years now, almost five. It all started when I ordered a code-signing certificate to sign ISV solutions, and I got a USB token instead of a software certificate.
After many years of Microsoft not offering support for these devices to sign the license files, it looks like with the changes introduced to AXUtil in the version 10.0.37, ISVLicenseGenerator will not be needed anymore…

A short one for today! I stumbled upon this while configuring the new Azure Synapse Link for Dataverse feature for an environment.
Most of the time, when I’m configuring resources on Azure, I do it as a subscription or resource group owner. This means I’m working in god-mode all the time, and I won’t be finding out some issues that users with less access rights do.
I guess that most of my readers will already be aware of this, as I’ve been spamming LinkedIn with the news: I wrote a book!
The book is called like this post’s title: “Extending Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations Apps with Power Platform”. It covers some practical scenarios where I show how to use Power Apps, Power Automate or AI Builder with F&O data.
It also offers an introduction and overview into the Power Platform integration and F&O: linked environments, Dual-write, Virtual tables, Dataverse, PPAC, etc.
Today I’m bringing you a post that’s all about Dynamics 365 F&O, but the main focus is on security, specifically Microsoft Sentinel. Some days ago it was announced a Microsoft Sentinel Solution for F&O had been published and is currently in preview. Let’s learn a bit about it!
Sometimes we overlook the security aspects of the things that are not directly related to F&O, specially regarding resources like networking, storage accounts, dev VMs, Microsoft Entra ID (this is Azure AD’s new name!) or using Bastion.
And we don’t do that because we just don’t care about security, but because we’re Dynamics 365 people, and sometimes we might lack the knowledge in other things. If you’re lucky, you’ll have an in-house security team that’ll take care of that, otherwise we need to train ourselves a bit.
This is the first time I’ve used Microsoft Sentinel, and I’m for sure missing on a lot of things and features. Time to learn!
There’s a nice feature in Dynamics 365 F&O that lets us emit notifications when data is changed, created or deleted: the alert framework.
In this post, I will show you how to send the alerts as Business events and send emails notifying the users using a Power Automate flow.
When I was almost done writing this blog post, I found this blog post and video from Scott Gaines where he showed this scenario. Take a look at it for a clearer step-by-step guide: Using Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations Alerts to Trigger Power Automate Flows.
Yesterday I released a new version of ISV License Generator with full support for the SHA-256 hash function after fixing an issue with it.
In this new version the support to generate Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations licenses using the SHA-1 hash has been removed, and it will use SHA-256 by default as the AXUtil tool does.
It’s already that time of the year again, the Dynamics 365 and Power Platform 2023 Release Wave 1 plans have just been released!
The 2023 release wave 1 for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations is focused on improving the development, administration, and user experiences by removing barriers, tightening integrations, and enhancing cross-platform capabilities. This release will bring a range of new features and capabilities that will help improve the performance of the platform and enhance the overall experience for developers, administrators, and end-users.
The features described here are planned to be delivered from April to September 2023.
