Move server

navisionerin

hey guys!
client is changing servers and what I need to do is point the old client to the new server etc. I chnaged it in the administraiton. However, it seems not to be working as it basically says that it cannot connect to the server.
all i want to do is that when the users open NAV, to open the new link for the new server.
Can i do this in somehitng like the configuraiton mode or somehting?

No, I have to do it remotely, I dont have access to their computers, Without making them paste the service link in the choose service
this is the only way i know

you could use @KTA8 Suggesting with a group policy (if all computers is in domain).

Or make it a Click-Once installation and direct them to the correct link...

I am not a Domain admin, so I do not have a step to step guide for you but there are a lot of Walkthrow on google:

you can make a bat and make them run as administrator o their system technicians can do that. Something like this:
@echo off
@setlocal enableextensions
cd "AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\80" > NUL
ECHO F|xcopy "%~dp0NAV_new_ClientUserSettings.config" "ClientUserSettings.config" /Y >NUL
