Check Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server Availability

Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Microsoft Dynamics Server should be already installed.

Please, make sure that the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server service is available. This can be checked in the Windows Services console (Start > Run > type services.msc):

If for some reasons Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server are not installed yet, refer to the official Microsoft installation manual.

After you have installed Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server, the default configuration is for the service to log on using the NT Authority \ Network Service account. If Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server and SQL Server are on different computers, then it is recommended to configure Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server to log on using a dedicated Windows domain user account instead. This account should not be an administrator either in the domain or on any local computer. A dedicated domain user account is considered more secure because no other services and therefore no other users have permissions for this account.
