Hi All,
I'm new to Navision, and am currently trying to install Navision Database Server 4.0 on Windows 2000 Server There are a few questions i would like to have clarify:
1. Is it mandatory to include Active Directory for this installation?
2. Do i have to install a single user (Complete) before installing Navision Database Server?I installed the Navision Database Server and place a thin client (Minimum) on top of it. The client had problem accessing the database.fdb
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply. Manage to rectify the issue. I needed the client on top of the server is because of it's database. I failed to mention i was using its proprietary database and not SQL. I can only gain access directly to the server when i use the shortcut fin to include the server's name and connection type. However, i'm unable to select the database manually from within Navision itself as i can't locate the server's name.

If the Navision Database Server is not included in the Active Directory it won't show on the look up form that's available on the 'Open Database' form.
You'll have to make all the references to the Database server via the Services and Hosts file in the 'c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc' directory.
The sequence of numbers is very important in the Services file and must be maintained.
Example:
Hosts file:
10.0.0.1 DatabaserServerName
Services file:
DatabaseServerName 2011/tcp
I hope this helps.

Everybody on-line.

Looking good!
In another words - you need Active directory to use this list. Thus you need expand AD schema... :-)

<whoops. :oops: ... I see that you guys already posted.... I started the message yesterday and only posted today>
1. No, you can use database logins, make sure the first one that you add is a super user. Or you can leave it without any logins, then everybody is a super user (in other words - no security).
2. You do not need to install a client on the same machine as the server. Post what problems the client has connecting to the server (i.e. any error messages). Try and start the server by running server.exe to find messages regarding the server not starting up, or check the event log after you have restarted the server.
regards,
