    Hello Josh,

    There must be a Microsoft Dynamics XXXXX Administration installed in your system, open it and find on Database Tab, DB Name and Server name field, these two fields are enough to tell you from where your DB is connected.

    Hii,

    Check it from "Microsoft Dynamic NAV Server".

    There you will see information about services. In "Database" section you will find out which database connect with same service.

    See below Screenshot
