Hi everyone.
Kindly tell me that do we need to create or activate any active directory service(ADS) when installing server and using native database??

Also tell the requirement of ADS in SQL server option.
Thanx

    AD is not needed. Just only if you want to use Windows Authentication instead Database auth.

    1) AD is not needed
    2) Check documentation for "Windows Authentication" (w1w1ism.pdf) - Chapter 4.1 - in this case you need AD

    Yet, if you need to use NAS (which means at least one Windows Login), do you still need AD or not? Thanks :)

    Yes, because you need the Windows Authentication for the NAS, you need AD... :wink:

    I'm not sure, but I think the original question was not about AD itself but about the legendary chapter "Publishing Navision Database Server in a Network" :?

    We can just assume that, but the question is "do we need to create or activate any active directory..." - nothing about extending schema etc... :-)

    If the question is about something else than was answered, I assume that aliennav will ask again... 8)
