Security Synchronisation (Navision 4.0 with SQL Server 2000)

ta5ta5 Member Posts: 1,164
Hi
When trying to synchronize users (tools->security->synchronize) I get the ffw error:
"Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision has encoutered a problem and needs to close..."


Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

    The only time I have had Navision crash out in that way was when the Role didnt have permission to do something at the time.

    For example remove the permission for a user to register time. Then try and change from one company to another in the same database. Rather than give you a message saying you dont have permission, the whole program crashes out.

    So there is probably a permission you need to add to your role to be allowed use that sync option. What permission it is I dont know.

    The user doing the sychronize must be a member of the SQL Security Administrators role or higher.
    There are no bugs - only undocumented features.

    Hi
    The issue is (partly) solved. It works on an other SQL Server 2000 with SP3 without problem. I therefore guess its a problem with Service Packs.

    Hi
    I found another interesting fact.
    If the db user who has created the db (now the dbo) is added to the database logins in navision, synchronisation is not possible anymore. The Synchronisation stops with the ffw message: The Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision and SQL Server security have not been synchronized successfully. The database user xy does not exist in the database xyz."

    Has somebody similar experiences?

    Yeah, I got that problem before.

    I had to change the database owner using SQL Query Analyzer.
    sp_changedbowner 'todatabaseid'

    Hi everybody

    Funny stuff, I had the same problem today again (as stated in the first message of the thread) with a customer installation. ](*,)

    Technical upgrade is not an option at the moment.

    Any input on this will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks

    answer from MS tech support: upgrade first and then we'll talk.

    Hi Daniel
    You mean a technical upgrade to 4.03?

    Correct, yes, sorry... Technical upgrade to SP3 first, then come back.

    It's like the doctor saying 'take an aspirin and call me in the morning' :mrgreen:

    Thanks for the info.

    OK then, I'll tell to the customer:
    "'We'll give you an aspirin and call you in the morning" :D
