Hello,

I'm having trouble configuring Visual Studio for Unified Development. I go through all the initial steps with no problem, but when I connect to Power Platform and it starts downloading Finance and Operations assets I get a message that "NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE" needs full control to the Dynamics365 folder.
I have granted all the required permissions, but the result is the same all the time.
Can anyone help?

Hi Shooowtek,

Have you opened Visual Studio with administrator-elevated permissions?

Hello Andre,

Yes, of course. I have Visual Studio open as administrator.

Perhaps the cause is in my local SQL database, since I installed SQL Expres? This would be strange because one of the first messages says:
"Validated that SQL Server Express LocalDB is up and running with windows authentication enabled for user." Then all the files are downloaded and unzipped. Unfortunately the final error message says as in my first post.

Hi Shooowtek,

I didn't install SQL server locally. Then it will use a LocalDB anyway. Maybe the user/service account used for SQL express needs additional folder permissions.

I still haven't fix this problem. Can anyone help?

I configured VS manually. Now I can't access the database through SQL Management Studio.

I would appreciate any suggestions.

Hi Shooowtek,

What exact database do you want to access? The cross references or the database with business data? The business data is in the cloud. Here you can read how to access that database. Request credentials to access D365 product database - Power Platform | Microsoft Learn

Hey Guys,

I'm facing the same issue. I've installed VS 2022, I open as Admin and when I try to Get Metadata, the same for me.

If anyone have any tip or idea, we'd appreciate.

Hi

I could solve the issue granting Everyone in the Dynamics365 folder:

Todos = Everyone / All
