   System is in Domain

   
   

   

   System is not in Domain

   OR You can install windows server and setup your own domain controller , Active directory and user and use this user
   
3. SQL Server (Not Express edition) : To  install Dynamics AX , SQL server is required .
   Express Edition will not work as Dynamics AX 2012 reports use SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). and it doesnt work properlly in Express Edition.
