Hello to everyone, 
I tried to update BC20.4 to new BC210 version, but after install new setup, Administration and Development Shell missing?
I tried 6,7 times to install but still have same problem. 
Do you know what can be with that?

    Hello,

    Easiest way is to start PowerShell ISE with elevated controls (Run as Administrator), then create a few variables, for Release 2022 Wave 2 $Version should be 21, etc.

    $Module = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central\$Version\Service\navadmintool.ps1"

    Import-Module -Name $Module

    Set-NAVServerConfiguration -ServerInstance $BcServerInstance -KeyName PublicWebBaseUrl -KeyValue $PublicWebBaseUrl -Force

    Set-NAVServerConfiguration -ServerInstance $BcServerInstance -KeyName ServicesCertificateThumbprint -KeyValue $ServicesCertificateThumbprint  -Force

    You can get these KeyNames from CustomSettings.config file or from documentation. Save the PowerShell ISE file with extension ps1 so you can reuse them.

    The application event log file will tell you why the service does not start, this can be caused by anything.

    Hope it helps.

    Thank you for answer.

    I want to install new update but, everything goes fine until want to start instance after set-navserverconfiguration and link with database.

    "Instance failed to reach status 'Running' on this server due to the following error: 'Cannot start the service.'.

    Do you know how to solve this problem? And do you know how to set needed information which we set into Administration like: Certificate Thumbrint, Web Client Base url, etc, but through Powershell?
