This article describes features that are new or changed in on-premises deployments of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, Enterprise edition 7.2 with platform update 12. This deployment option became available in March 2018.
For more information about platform update 12, see What's new or changed in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, Enterprise edition platform update 12 (November 2017).
For more resources about on-premises deployments, see On-premises deployment home page.
Setup and deployment
Improvements to the setup and deployment process significantly reduce the time that is required for deployment. Increased automation and multiple prerequisite validations also improve reliability. For more information, see Set up and deploy on-premises environments.
Servicing
After you deploy your on-premises environment, you can use Microsoft Dynamics Lifecycle Services to apply platform and application updates that Microsoft releases. You can also apply code customizations. Therefore, you can stay current with the latest set of fixes and take up new customizations without having to reconfigure an existing environment or redeploy the on-premises environment. Additionally, you can now roll back code changes if packages aren't successfully applied. For more information, see Apply updates to on-premises deployments.
The Reconfigure environments to take a new platform or topology remains available for environments that you deployed with platform update versions earlier than Platform update 12.
Hotfixes
Hotfixes that you can download from Lifecycle Services provide more features for your on-premises deployments of Platform update 12. Be sure to apply the following hotfixes:
- KB 4091763 - Admin toggles for Client connectivity and Skype presence: This hotfix enables administrators to disable experiences that depend on internet connectivity on client machines. For more information, see Client internet connectivity.
- KB 4093454 - ISV license support for on-premises: When deploying an on-premises environment starting from platform update 12, the tenant GUID is automatically populated from Lifecycle Services to the on-premises environment. Licensing validation can read this value and successfully validate the licenses. For more information, see Independent software vendor (ISV) licensing (on-premises).
