Hi Vipul,

Microsoft has introduced new security layer for Dynamics-AX 4.0 so that they used windows security architecture (Remote Procedure call).
Before installation of Dynamics-AX 4.0 you need to install Windows 2003 Hotfix 913184 for this Remore Procedure on your Windows 2003 Server. You can download this hotfix from Microsoft Download center. Once you install this hotfix on your Windows 2003 server SP1 then try to install Dynamics-AX 4.0.

This will resolved your error.

Enjoy......

Regards
Rakesh..
