GP Web Client The network path was not found

Posted on by EmilyMH

Hello,

My first time setting up Web Client, and I am stuck on the "Verify the web client installation" step with:

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80070035): The network path was not found

at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind(Boolean throwIfFail)

- and a whole lot more I can paste in if needed.

This is a single machine install. I've run repair a couple of times. I checked services and 5 are running, rebooted the machine and manually started 2 of the services which weren't running even though they are "automatic".

Looks like we can turn on logging but I do not have "GP Web Client" in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics folder. I do have C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics\GP Web Components\GPService with a TenantConfiguration.xml file that I added two lines from the Web Components Install-Admin Guide.pdf, to the <Tenant> node:

<RuntimeLogEnabled>true</RuntimeLogEnabled>
<CustomRuntimeSettings>ScriptLogEnabled=true|TimingLogEnabled=true|SqlLogEnabled=true</CustomRuntimeSettings>

Tried verifying again, but C:\ProgramData\Microsoft Dynamics\GPSessions\Logs is empty.

I haven't done much user or group setup so could have done something wrong there; I created a user in admin group on this server and used that for everything. This is not a production environment, so if you have any tips on users needed for web client setup - I'd like to hear them!

Also, any thoughts you have on the network path that is not found?

Thank you,

Emily

When exactly are you seeing this 'The network path was not found' message? Installing Web Client, attempting to access Web Client or when?

We may need a support case as Web Client can get a little more complex than we're able to troubleshoot via forums such as this.

Thanks

Hi Derek,

"Verify the web client installation" says to use IE but I'm using Edge with ServerName:PortNumber/GP - modified of course with my server name and all that. I get the Account/LogOn page and sign in with my WebClientUser (private computer) and get An Unexpected Error has occurred and the Event Log gets updated with the message in my post description.

Last night my user was not part of the Group. I just added it and am not getting the Unexpected Error on the network path any more!

Got a little farther - it said please wait while we set things up or something like that.

Now I'm getting "a problem occurred creating a session". Probably time for a reboot and I'll bing the new message and search in this group to see what I find.

Marking this as answer since the Group was the problem.

TY

Emily,

one thing I learned with the GP web client deployment is that it doesn't like to run without the SSL secured certificate.. plus, it only works well with IE 11, not so much with other browsers, including Edge which is chromium based. I've always got the most success with IE 11...

Also, when login into the web browser with your AD Windows Account, make sure the GP account is paired with the corresponding Windows account in User setup.. otherwise GP doesn't know who to login..

Usually when something doesn't work right the first time, it's best to scrap everything and restart from scratch, including deleting the SQL database. You're going to waste more time by trying to fix or troubleshoot than restarting the whole setup. That's my personal experience of course..

A lot of different things going on here......

If you're attempting to login to Web Client after getting it installed successfully and it hangs on 'problem creating a session', look in the Event Viewer, specifically the 'Dynamics' log, as that is where Web Client will write all of its error message information and see what that shows.

Depending on what it shows, would dictate our troubleshooting........

We frequently see issues with user sessions getting created when the certificate is applied onto the Session Central Service and Session Service (both state as optional), which can even occur on a single-server install of Web Client.

As for the browser side, which this error wouldn't usually be a part of... for Chrome and Edge, while IE has its own Internet Options, both Chrome and Edge use Internet Options through Control Panel.

What I've found that worked for me, is the following:

Go into Control Panel > Internet Options on the machine I’m trying to access Web Client from, on the ‘General’ tab, under ‘Browsing History’, click on the ‘Settings’ button and verify that ‘Every time I visit the webpage’ is marked. You can also delete the temporary files while there.

Still under Internet Options, under the ‘Security’ tab, under ‘Trusted Sites’ > ‘Sites’, confirm your host name for the certificate being used with Web Client is added as a Trusted Site, i.e. servrename.contoso.local, for example. If it isn’t, add it here.

Then, still in the ‘Security’ tab, click on the ‘Custom level…’ button and at the bottom, verify that ‘Automatic logon with current user name and password’ is marked.

That is all I did to get Web Client working on both Firefox and Chrome. The same steps can be done for IE in its own Internet Options. I haven't done any testing with Firefox or other browsers, at least not yet.

If you make any changes, click Apply and then OK, then close and re-launch any of the browsers you have open before testing Web Client again.

Thanks
