We are in the process of upgrading our Dynamics GP 2018.4 environment to Dynamics GP 2018.5. Ideally, we would also like to migrate to a new SQL 2019 server instance, in addition to the year end upgrade. Our existing SQL 2019 server instance resides on a Linux server, and we would then install the Dynamics GP client and third party software on a workstation with a ODBC connection to the SQL 2019 server instance.
Everything appears to work as it should - restoring the Dynamics and company databases to the new SQL server, establishing the ODBC connection between the workstation and the SQL server. However, when we go to run the Dynamics GP 2018.5 client install, we get the following Microsoft Dynamics GP Utilities error - ERROR [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0][SQL Server]CREATE ASSEMBLY failed because it could not open the physical file '/System.DirectoryServices.dll: 2(The system cannot find the file specified.). (This happens with the install is on the Load Stored Procedures (DeployClrAssemblies).
I am having a hard time finding any requirements for installation when using SQL Server 2019. It appears you can no longer use a ODBC connection and need to use the OLE DB instead, when dealing with SQL 2019, but I am not seeing how you might complete the installation differently. I also do not see if we need to do anything differently since our SQL Server 2019 instance is being hosted on a Linux server.
If anyone has any experience with the scenario described above and how I can get past this error, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
