Moving NAV installation to a new Active Directory Domain

Posted on by RichardSendall

Hello,

The company I work for has recently purchased another company and we are integrating their IT into our systems. That company has an installation of Microsoft NAV 2013 R2 which contains users authenticated against their Active Directory Domain - I'll call this "olddomain". We want to move all of their IT systems and users into our Active Directory domain, I'll call this "newdomain" so that "olddomain" can be shut down and removed. The question is how do we do this with NAV? I can see in the user table in SQL Server that it contains users against the old domain "olddomain" and I couldn't see that there is a means to log into NAV without using an AD account that is bound to the "olddomain".

So if I take the server NAV is installed on and unbind it from "olddomain", then bind it to "newdomain" and start NAV and SQL with a new Service Account in "newdomain", what else do I need to do to be able to log into the NAV client?

Thanks!

RE: Moving NAV installation to a new Active Directory Domain

Hi, you can use powershell command for this to rename the windows account to new domain for existing user.

Sample command :

Set-NAVServerUser NAVServiceName -WindowsAccount OldDomain\User1 -NewWindowsAccount NewDomain\User1

Detail can be found here :
