Installing Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows Client

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

After successfully completing the installation of Microsoft Dynamics NAV on Azure and verifying that the installation was successful and that I can connect to the Azure VM, I began the final step, installation of the Windows client.  This process is begun by following this URL - mynavvm.cloudapp.net, replacing the MyNavVM with the name of my VM, which I did.  The link did what it should do and took me to a file that opened a Menu with several selections, I chose Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 | Windows client then the process began and within seconds it failed, when opening the log that was produced I see the following errors:

* Activation of xxxxonavsvrvm.cloudapp.net/.../Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Client.application resulted in exception. Following failure messages were detected:
  + Downloading xxxxonavsvrvm.bodyodynamics.net/.../Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Client.application did not succeed.
  + The remote name could not be resolved: 'XXXXonavsvrvm.XXXXdynamics.net'


As mentioned above, I can successfully log into the VM for my instance, I have done a number of searches but I am drawning a blank Any and All assistance is most welcome.


Thank you

CHS

    Change value inside [] on your own

    #To Open DEV Environment with Original Database

    Start-Process -FilePath 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\100\Service\finsql.exe' -ArgumentList "servername=[SQLSERVER], database=[DATABASENAME], ntauthentication=yes"

    #To Open Windows Client to test the Extension

    start "DynamicsNAV://localhost:[ClientServicePortNo]/[NAVSERVERNAME]/[CompanyName]/?tenant=default"

    #To Open web client

    Start-Process "https://[VMNAME].cloudapp.azure.com/[NAVSERVERNAME]/WebClient/"

    I am still in search of some help.  The original message above still is occurring, I have been able to connect via the web client, but I am still getting no joy in trying to resolve the item that I first recorded above.  

    Any other suggestions please?

    Thank you

    Chris

    Suresh,  I was able to get into the instance of Navision for the test/dummy system, I was able to see sales ordering, CRM, etc. for the sample company that you get when first installing Dynamics CRM.   I can connect with the Web Client that you have shared here for me.  However, I still have the original error when trying to get the Windows Client that I have shared above.

    I have been able to log in with the web client, I changed the v=nav.70 to nav.90 and it worked, I was able to log in.  Interesting, I cannot connect to download the Windows Client to my PC, but the webclient did work this time.

    Hello Suresh;

    I have done this very thing, this is the basis for the question I posted, you can see from my original question that when I run this command I get the error below:

    * Activation of xxxxonavsvrvm.cloudapp.net/.../Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Client.application resulted in exception. Following failure messages were detected:

      + Downloading xxxxonavsvrvm.bodyodynamics.net/.../Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Client.application did not succeed.

      + The remote name could not be resolved: 'XXXXonavsvrvm.XXXXdynamics.net'

    This is consistent, I have tried this a number of times.  I can RPD to the VM and login with the username and password, all is well.  I have checked with the Azure team and they have verified that my VM is running just fine.  However, when I issue the mynavsvrvm.cloudapp.net I get stuck.  

    Has anyone see this error before and resolved it?

    Thanks

    Christopher

    xx.1xx.1xx.1xx.cloudapp.net would be the format that this would take, but not sure it is correct.
