Business Notification Setup Problem

Dimos

Hi all,

I am trying to set up Business Notification on a customer site with the following setup configuration.

I have two machines.

The first one has:

1. Windows 2003 Server
2. .Net framework 2.0
3. SQLXML 3.0,
4. SQL 2000 standard edition
5. NAV4.0 Sp3 Client
6. SQL Navision Database

The second on has:

1. Windows 2003 Server
2. .Net framework 2.0
3. SQLXML 3.0
4. SQL 2000 standard edition
5. SQL Notification Services SP1
6. NAV4.0 Sp3 Client
7. IIS
8. Business Notification Server

The problem is when I try to install Business Notification Server the service NS$BusinessNotificationInstance does not appear on the Services List, the only service that I can see is the Notification Service Deployment Manager

Has anyone faced this problem? Is there any known issue for incompatibility between NAV4.0 Sp3 (Business Notification Server) and SQL 2000 standard edition (Notification Services Sp1)?

Thank you!

What I found in NAV40SP3 changelog:

P71) MS SQL 2005 Compliancy
Feature
Business Notification for Dynamics NAV can now install and run on MS SQL Server 2005.
This has been implemented

May be that they are now supporting "just" MS SQL 2005 and not MS SQL 2000... but I never tested it.
