Navision with SQL - only database file on server

andy76

Hello everybody,

I need to know if, on an installation of Navision with database SQL Server, we can only restore the backup on the server of SQL and so have on server ONLY the database file (MDF/LDF) without installing no components of Navision setup (nor client nor other components...).
Are there some problems / troubleshootings?

Thank you very much

Andy

You just needs the xp_ndo.dll in the MS SQL server to have correct Windows logins...

Copied from my replies in the public MSFT NG:

SQL Server can be used just to store the database, without installing the NAV client. The only thing you really need is the extended stored procedures. In the Doc folder of your product disk you will find a document called w1w1isql.pdf, which is the installation manual for NAV on SQL Server. See if you can find your answer there.

You don't HAVE to install NAV, but you CAN if you want to. I always do, because it makes administering NAV easier, so you can do it right form SQL Server.
