Applying Service Update to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations OneBox Development Environment

Keeping your local one-box environment up to date is important for testing, development, and staying aligned with the latest platform improvements. In this post, we will walk through a simple and practical approach to upgrading Dynamics 365 Finance One-Box from version 10.0.46 to 10.0.47 which has been released on March 13, 2026 Dynamics 365 Finance 10.0.47.

In my case, my one-box development environment version is 10.0.46 it running locally not in cloud so I want to upgrade to the latest version since UAT and Production automaticaly they recive update from Microsoft based the following release schedule.

Step 1: Download the Service Update

First, go and download the latest Service Update 10.0.47 from the LCS Software Deployable Package.

Step 2: Unblock and Extract

After downloading:

• Right-click the ZIP file
• Go to Properties
• Check “Unblock”
• Click OK
• Extract it to a folder like: C:\Temp

This step ensures Windows does not block the files.

Step 3: Edit Topology File

Open DefaultTopologyData.xml in a text editor.

Replace:

<Name>localhost</Name>

With your machine name, for example:

<Name>dvhd10046vm</Name>

Step 4: Check Installed Components

Open Command Prompt and navigate to:

C:\Temp\FinanceAndOperations_10.0.2527.42_Application

(Note: FinanceAndOperations_10.0.2527.42_Application is the name of the service update ZIP file after extraction)

Run this command:

AXUpdateInstaller.exe list

This command shows all installed services on your current machine.

Now copy those services and paste them into DefaultTopologyData.xml under <ServiceModelList> put them between <string> </string> tag as shown in the folloing.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<TopologyData xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
              xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <Name>AX topology</Name>
  <MachineList>
    <Machine>
      <Name>localhost</Name>
      <ServiceModelList>
        <string>AOSService</string>
        <string>ALMService</string>
        <string>AOSSERVICE</string>
        <string>BIIService</string>
        <string>DevToolsService</string>
        <string>DIXFSERVICE</string>
        <string>MROneBox</string>
        <string>PerfSDK</string>
        <string>ReportingService</string>
      </ServiceModelList>
    </Machine>
  </MachineList>
  <BackupScript>
    <FileName />
    <Automated>false</Automated>
    <Description>
      Please backup your environment now, set this step to complete once you finished backup
    </Description>
  </BackupScript>
</TopologyData>

This step connects your update file with your real system services.

Step 5: Generate Runbook

In this step we generate Runbook file after run the folloing command in C:\Temp\FinanceAndOperations_10.0.2527.42_Application directory a new xml file will be generate it called LocalOneBoxDev-runbook.xml

Note: You can use your favorite name for the Runbook file.

Run this command:

C:\Temp\FinanceAndOperations_10.0.2527.42_Application\
AXUpdateInstaller.exe generate -runbookid="OneBoxDev" -topologyfile="DefaultTopologyData.xml" -servicemodelfile="DefaultServiceModelData.xml" -runbookfile="LocalOneBoxDev-runbook.xml"

Note: Runbook is a file used to automate processes or execute scripts step by step.

Step 6: Import Runbook

This command is used to load previous generated Rubbook file into the system.

Run this command:

AXUpdateInstaller.exe import -runbookfile="LocalOneBoxDev-runbook.xml"

Step 7: Verify Runbook

Run again:

AXUpdateInstaller.exe list

Check if your runbook (OneBoxDev) is listed this means everything is ready.

Step 8: Execute Runbook

Run this command:

AXUpdateInstaller.exe execute -runbookid="OneBoxDev"

This command executes the RunBook file and starts the update process it may take a long time wait until every steps will complete.

Step 9: Export Runbook

Run this command:

AXUpdateInstaller.exe export -runbookid="OneBoxDev" -runbookfile="LocalOneBoxDev-runbook.xml"

This command is optional it saves your runbook for backup or future use.
