Availability Group Listener's IP address keeps changing between Online and Offline address

I've been testing Multi-Subnet Availability Groups and I ran into a peculiar situation which I hadn't experienced before; the IP address kept flipping between the offline and online IP address for the resource.

I was a little perplexed, I had tested Multi-Subnet AGs on our old Colocation, and was now testing it with our new (and improved) colo. I tried lots of things, but it came down to one cluster resource setting for my AG... RegisterAllProvidersIP.

When this setting is set to 1, any IP address that is associated with the clustered resource. As shown below:

This means that dns will return either IP address, and your client could fail connecting if the offline IP address is returned by DNS after the TTL timer expires.

By setting RegisterAllProvidersIP to 0, only the online IP address is registered. Success!!

Installing Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 on SQL Server 2012

With SQL Server 2012's release this past April, we knew we would have to prepare for our future deployment of Microsoft Dynamics 2012 to run on it. We had successfully upgraded existing versions of SQL Server 2008 R2 supporting Dynamics 2012 to SQL Server 2012. But one thing we never tested was installing Dynamics 2012 directly onto SQL Server 2012.

I set up all the pre-requisites for the Dynamics AX. The DB successfully installed and then I got the following error on the AOS install:
An error occurred during setup of Application Object Server (AOS) MicrosoftDynamicsAX at port 2712.
The following error/warning occurred:Cannot find the object 'UTILIDELEMENTS', because it does not exist or you do not have permission. Cannot find the object 'UTILELEMENTS', because it does not exist or you do not have permission. Cannot find the object 'UTILMODELS', because it does not exist or you do not have permission.
Hmmm.... interesting as I know we've successfully gotten these running on SQL Server 2012 before. I did a bit of google-fu and saw someone listing as needing to run Dynamics AX 2012 patch listed as KB2680186. Luckily we had this in our share. I ran that update, and noticed that it didnt actually update a client, but rather installed an update of the "Installation Support Files".

Once that completed, I rebooted my server and voila. It installed.

Edit: I had used version 6.0 of the Dynamics AX 2012 installer. Although I was able to proceed, I got various errors that I couldnt get past. I ended up undoing the AOS install and db install.

I then redid the AOS and DB install with version 6.1, which was patched to run with SQL Server 2012 out of the box, and lo and behold, IT WORKED!!!!!
