Error creating new web server instance

Posted on by Carlos Herrando 171

Hello community,

a few days ago we were trying to create a new NAV web server instance linked to a NAV instance as always but suddenly we could not create it. The following error appears:

PS C:\Windows\system32> New-NAVWebServerInstance -ServerInstance $ServerInstance -WebServerInstance $ServerInstance -Server 'localhost'
New-NAVWebServerInstance : Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web Server Components have not been configured for multi-instance.
At line:1 char:1
+ New-NAVWebServerInstance -ServerInstance $ServerInstance -WebServerInstance $Ser ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [New-NAVWebServerInstance], NavCommandException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : WW0082_ADFS,Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Management.Cmdlets.NewNavWebServerInstance

 

We are use to create new NAV web server instances linked to NAV instances all the times through powershell, and we have never had any error.

Do you have any clue about why this error is preventing us to create new web server instances?

Many thanks and regards,

Carlos

    Thank you Suresh but I don't understand your answer. Do you mean that I need to change the order of the parameters in the call?

    We are using the same powershell script since last year, and it has been working all the time until now. The problem seems to be something that has changed in the server, however I don't have any clue, and the event viewer does not say anything.

    I think it is not recognizing NAV Commands try to run Import-Module command to import

    Import-Module “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\100\RoleTailored Client\Micro

    soft.Dynamics.Nav.Model.Tools.psd1” –force

    Thank you Suresh but I have the same problem importing that module.

    As I said, we have been creating web server instances successfully for a long time with PowerShell, but suddenly it stopped working.

    What error are you getting when you import the module ? are you running it as administrator ?

    Yes, I am running as administrator, and there is not any error when importing the module. The error appears when trying to create the Web Server Instance.

    PS C:\Windows\system32> New-NAVWebServerInstance -ServerInstance 'WW0105B' -WebServerInstance 'WW0105B' -Server 'useaddevxq001.us.ead.dev'

    New-NAVWebServerInstance -WebServerInstance ABC -Server localhost -ServerInstance ABC -ClientServicesCredentialType Windows

    We use above to create web services.

    Thank you Manish, I am using the same script and getting the same error.

    New-NAVWebServerInstance -ServerInstance $ServerInstance -WebServerInstance $ServerInstance -Server 'localhost'

    New-NAVWebServerInstance -WebServerInstance $ServerInstance -Server localhost -ServerInstance $ServerInstance

    Both script are different,

    You have ServerInstance first were as mine is WebServerInstance.

    Parameter order is not relevant in PowerShell scripts.

    By the way, I have also tested changing the order and the same error appears.
