Fresh Installation of Dynamics NAV Server (without test Company)

Posted on by 369

I have just completed the steps of fresh installation for Dynamics NAV server. I have done the following:

  1. Installed server components
  2. Installed SQL Server database components (without demo company)
  3. Client and Development

Now I went to he development, and created a new database with specific required collation.

Since I can not open the NAV Client,  how can I create a new company ?

Thanks in Advance

    Powershell is the key! Agreed with Alexander.

    - Import Module

    Set-ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Force
    Import-Module 'File Path to NavAdminTool.ps1'

    * Default : 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\100\Service\NavAdminTool.ps1'

    - Create Company 

    New-NAVCompany -CompanyName "NewCompanyName" -ServerInstance DynamicsNAV10 -Confirm

    This will create a new company name "NewComanyName" in the Database connected to DynamicsNAV10 instance. Change the blue color parameters according to your requirement.

    You can use Powershell to create company

    msdn.microsoft.com/.../dn182571(v=nav.90).aspx

    Or

    You can restore the backup of database you want.
