windows user running NAS

gulamdastagir

hello system admins

Can any windows user run the NAS and MSMQ private queues on WIN2K3 server?

Iam aware that we have to add that windows user to NAV windows logins.

thanks

NAS can be run under any user. To use MSMQ you must define permissions for that MSMQ.

Any user doesn't really 'run' NAS. You can set up any windows user to be the account that it is run under, as long as that windows user is set up to run as a service.

I'm assuming that user has NAS user service account. I don't excepting end users runing NAS from command line

Of course that the user running NAS (account under which is NAS running) must have access into NAV - it means must be added into Windows Accounts in NAV.

While you can set the Log On As settings of the NAS Service to use any windows user that is setup in Navision - I normally recommend that there be a seperate NAS user created in the domain. This is because any change logs or any other functions that use the USERID function will then clearly show that the the NAS user was being run. This will ensure that you can properly track things with any audit trails (which could be important to those "accounting types").

step #1.Create a NAV windows user and Synchronize all logins
step #2.Go to NAS Service right click properties and on the log on tab enter the NAV Windows user and password.

step#3. Start NAS from NAS Manager and not the windows services console becasue if you do you will get the "incorrect function error"

Have you check what startup parameter is specified? NAS normally passes a startup parameter (10 or 20 character code value) into codeunit 1's NASHandler Trigger. This code can be used to determine which thread of execution the NAS should invoke be it Employee portal support, Biztalk integration, or custom functionality.

Another possibility is to check that you can manually execute whatever code is being started by NAS. Can you start the codeunit or function if you call it from a test harness that you run manually in a Navision client (when logged in as the NAS user?).

No that has nothing to do with that error. In fact, it is better to start the services from the Windows services area, not the NAS manager. Use the NAS snap in to manage parameters, and use the services area to start/stop de services.

Yes the Bottom line is you have to supply all the Parameters to NAS either from the "Snap In" or commandline inorder to avoid getting the "incorrect function" error when you start NAS
