Nav service account permissions

Pepri

Hello,

I'm setting up NAV 2009R2 3-Tier installation. I ran into problems when starting up Nav service on NAV Server. The nav service account is domain wide account and it has been granted log on as a service permission.
I can go around the problem if I elevate the nav service acoount to local administrators group to the NAV Server computer. Clearly that's not the solution I want.

So, here is the error message from application log:

What I've already done is that I've granted access to the appropriate allowedAccounts section of SMSvcHost.exe.config.

I had no time to configure this when happened to me. Turning off Net. Tcp Port Sharing service was my solution - I didn't need this anyway

Pepri

Well, I need Net.Tcp.PortSharing so I can't just turn it off.
Fortunately this is a test environment and I really would like to find out the reason behind this error.

mihail_kolev

then you need to configure the service. Maybe this will be usefull

I had the same error message. There is no need in modifying TCP port sharing permissions.
Check these 2 things
1. if domain account is granted to log on as a service GPO->Local computer policy->Computer Configuration->Windows Settings->Security settings->Local policies->user rights assignment->log on as service
2. Check if all services using the port (e.g. 7046) are set to be dependant on TCP port sharing service. (In my case I have forgot that I have created DynamicsNAV71 during instalation of NAV server. After setting it to be dependant on TCP port sharing service both services started normaly )
