Cannot start NAVServerInstance with new NAVApplicationDatabase

Posted on by TirusGichu

I have created a new NAV database using New-NAVApplicationDatabase cmdlet and it was successful. I have then create a new NAVServerInstance using New-NAVServerInstance cmdlet and linked it to the database I created earlier. However when I try to start the server it fails to reach status 'Running'. I am guesing it could be a permission issue but I have not clue where to start looking.

Kindly help

as per the event log, now you need to check whether the NAV Server Account is added in the Database Login with the above admin permissions.

and please verify that in the Instance you have passed the correct SQL Instance Name and Database Name, these are the only things related to the permission error, and try restarting your SQL Server instance.
