Windows Accounts not saving

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 789

I have a GP installation where the SQL server is in the Domain "COMPANY' and the AD users are now in the domain "CORP". The users used to be in the "COMPANY" domain but have since been inactivated. 

From the User Setup window / "Directory Account" tab in GP I can click the looking class and type CORP\USERNAME to search and select the user. However it doesn't appear to save as the windows account remains blank. The same occurs when I attempt to choose COMPANY/USERNAME or just USERNAME. It finds the name in the search but doesn't actually save it. The issue is also happening when assigning Managers or tasks within WorkFlows. 

The info in the following discussion sounds similar to my issue except that I can see the list of users - it's just not saving the name I select.

Thanks

    Hello Bob,

    I know that, at least with looking up and adding AD users in the Workflow windows in GP, when an AD user doesn't have a Display Name setup in the AD user account properties, the domain name will show up in People & Groups, but when clicking OK to add it to Workflow, it doesn't show up in the GP window, similar to what you're seeing.

    I don't know if it is the same for the lookup in the User Setup window or not, but I'd make sure these AD users you're attempting to add into GP have a display name specified in their AD user properties and if not, add that, then launch GP and test again.

    Usually, other than this display name issue we've seen with Workflow, it's all-or-nothing, meaning that either you see the AD name and can add it into GP or you don't see the name at all.

    If the users are in a different domain than the SQL and GP applications, you'd need a full, two-way trust between the two domains and then the account you're logged onto the machine as (your Windows account, not GP login) would need permissions to query, in this case, the CORP domain and find those AD users to add into GP.

    As you're seeing the users, it seems you have permissions enough to query the domain where the users exist, but maybe not enough permissions or not a two-way, full trust between domains to add the users into applications on the COMPANY domain?

    Another test you could try, in SQL Server Mgmt Studio, under Security > Logins, can you add these domain users into SQL? If not, then it may be an issue trying to add those users onto an application on a domain different than that of where the users exist, which would seem to point to an issue with the two domains not fully trusting each other.

    I'd start with that and see what you find, let us know.

    Thanks,

    This problem happens because of unlicensed windows 10, which does not save accounts. If your Windows is licensed, this is most likely a bug. Reinstall Windows. This problem happened to my friend who bought a license key at mysoftwarekeys.com. His unlicensed Windows did not save accounts and he had to contact specialists. They told him the problem was in the account, configured BIOS for him, and then updated Windows 10. They also set up a Microsoft account for him, and everything finally worked. Good luck!

    W10 Home does not support domains. What version of W10 are you using?

    To piggy back on these comments....

    Dynamics GP is only supported on the Professional and Enterprise editions of Windows 10.

    This is also true of Windows 11, which is available when using Dynamics GP 18.4.1434 or later.

    Thanks
