Nav 2016 Administration Shell.

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I am running Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 on Windows server 2012 R2 standard.

I have:

1. Dynamics NAV.

2. Dynamics NAV Administration.

3. Dynamics NAV Development Environment.

4. Dynamics NAV Development Shell.

But I do not have the Dynamics NAV Administration shell, which I need to create additional web-client instances.

How do I get the Dynamics NAV 2016 Administration shell? Is there a Microsoft fix for this issue?

Thanks

C

    Hi, You can read this blog

    www.kauffmann.nl/.../nav-2016-installation-overwrites-nav-2015-administration-tool

    Also I can suggest to use standard Powershell with NAV modules

    Import-Module 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\100\Service\NavAdminTool.ps1'

    Import-Module 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\100\RoleTailored Client\Microsoft.Dynamics.NAV.Model.Tools.psd1'

    Import-Module 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\100\RoleTailored Client\Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Apps.Tools.psd1'

    Hi Dmitry,

    thanks for your quick response.

    I have tried importing the modules as suggested but that failed, but worked with:

          import-module 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\90\Service\NavAdminTool.ps1'

    I was then able to use the PS command:

    New-NAVWebServerInstance -WebServerInstance MyWebApp -Server NAVServer -ServerInstance NAVServerInstance

    Which created a new NAV Web Client Application.

    Cheers

    Dmitry,

    your the man! so I have another question.

    When I know try to access the newly created web-client in a browser I get the error message:

    An error has occurred

    A server error has occurred, and the content cannot be displayed. Refresh the page or open a new browser window.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Please note that Before that you need to setup the Web server component on your setup

    and refer the following

    Check what Event Viewer is saying for that. Also, refer to troubleshooting: msdn.microsoft.com/.../hh997105%28v=nav.90%29.aspx;MSPPError=-2147217396

    I resolved this issue by changing the port no. in the Web.config file to match the port specified for the instance in NAV Administration  (Client services).
