Help moving/reinstalling NAV 5.0 to a new server

Posted on by 5

We currently are running NAV 5.0 patch 1 on an old 2003 server with a document approval system on another system with publice/external access.

Our "portal" has been very flukey, and as well both servers are rather dated hardware wise.

Our current NAV specialist wants to sell us another proprietary (they designed) portal, and spend many many hours going through our system. Neither is cost efficient for us as we're looking to upgrade and/or migrate within the next year to the latest, or a whole new platform.

So, I've downloaded NAV 5.0 patch 2 (with W7/Server2K8/X64 support), created a virtual server running Server 2K8 R2 Enterprise, installed SQL server 2005 and as well the NAV5.0.

 

Part of the issue I'm hitting is exporting logins from SQL, but in NAV on the old server I can't see what exactly is or isn't installed, nor on the server hosting the portal, which doesn't seem to be setup as expected after reading some documentation.

Which I'm unsure of doing a complete install, partial, or what components. I believe it to be a fairly basic install.

We just need to get something going to hold us a year or so, with a document approval system.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, or if there's a "For Dummies" run down on NAV 5.0.

Thanks!
