Changes in RDP access of D365 Finance and SCM environments

In the morning I received an email regarding changes in RDP access for various environments of D365 finance and operations and the following is the exact information from the same email if anyone is not aware of it.

Summary

As communicated previously, Microsoft is removing the use of Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to access environments managed by Microsoft. As RDP access is required for development, going forward customers will be required to develop using a Cloud Hosted Environment or download a local “Virtual Hard Disk” (VHD) within Lifecycle Services. Cloud Hosted Environments will allow customers to manage the compute, size, and cost of these environments. This infrastructure change will ensure that customers decouple development tools from any running environment.

In addition, effective November 1, Tier 1 environments will not be included in the purchase of Dynamics 365 Finance, Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, Dynamics 365 Project Operations, or Dynamics 365 Commerce apps. The ability to purchase additional Add-On tier 1 environments will also be removed at this time. Beginning December 1, Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) access for the existing Tier 1 Developer environments, managed by Microsoft, will be removed and decommissioned. Customers will need to preserve or move data within these environments by this date. See the FAQ below with links to existing documentation.

Microsoft will continue to invest in development tools and processes to allow customers to extend the rich capabilities available within Dynamics 365. Learn about one of these key investments, which allows for build automation that uses Microsoft-hosted agents and Azure Pipelines. This approach helps customers avoid the setup, maintenance, and cost of deploying build virtual machines (VMs). It also reuses the existing setup of build agents to run other .Net build automation.

Azure credits will be provided for qualifying customers to use for deploying Tier 1’s using Cloud Hosted Environments.

Regression Suite Automation Tool (RSAT) implementation and configuration for Finance and Operations

Purpose: The Regression suite automation tool (RSAT) significantly reduces the time and cost of user acceptance testing. This tool enables functional power users to record business tasks using the Finance and Operations Task recorder and convert these recordings into a suite of automated tests without the need to write source code. Test libraries are stored and distributed in Lifecycle Services (LCS) using the Business Process Modeler (BPM) libraries. These libraries are also fully integrated with Azure DevOps Services (Azure DevOps) for test execution, reporting and investigation. Test parameters are decoupled from test steps and stored in Microsoft Excel files. Video demonstration Prerequisites: Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations test environment (Demo or tier 2 UAT environment  Excel   Azure DevOps: You will need an Azure DevOps Test Manager or Test Plans license. For example, if you have a Visual Studio Enterprise subscription, you already have a l...
