So when I first open Dynamics GP there is a message that says I need to open GP Utilities first.When I open utilities and sign in, I get the message below.
Is there a way to automate this, or a way to configure the software on client machines so I don't have to sign into each one myself with a admin account to run utilities?
While it may be possible, there's nothing we currently have through PowerShell or any other, that would allow you to install and/or login to GP Utilities on 40 different machines, with admin permissions, to upgrade GP databases.
Maybe the community has some processes they have used, but nothing we've seen nor support.
Thanks
I'll be putting this install onto around 40 machines, so I was hoping to automate as much as possible - signing into 40 machines to update Utilities isn't ideal, especially since it has to be an administrator that does it.
With GP having it's own powershell, i'm surprised that something like this can't be simply done via it's own PowerShell.
Hello,
You should need to run Utilities and actually update only once.
That said, each machine will need to run Utilities so it can make sure the version on the Workstation and the Server match.

This will have to happen any time there is a code change to the GP Code folder.
There are ways around this, which the community may point out, but this is the recommended path.
