So I wonder who had the idea to code this error message:

"A dead connection cannot be brought back to the livings" .. like seriously? wdf dude!

Anyway, I've restarted my NAV Services and SQL Server several times. Everytime I run this, it's working for about 1 hours, and then I get this error. Dunno if anyone has seen this before:

  1. Sync-NAVTenant -ServerInstance DynamicsNAV110 -Mode ForceSync

    Hi @Ghetz,
     
    Hope you are doing well.
     
    I was wondering if you were able to resolve this by increasing the SQL command timeout? 
     
    I know it's a weird request but who knew that 6years later I would face the same error

    Resurrection of zombies is a regular vendor practice :-).

    Just for troubleshooting purposes, will you face the same issue using -CommitPerTable parameter?

    OK.. so digging into to event viewer, I found a NAV Service error about timeout. So I increased the "SQL command timeout" in the NAV service with the Administration Tool. Hope this brings us "back to the livings"!

    Will confirm as soon as the Sync process finishes.
