Configure Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server

When you run Microsoft Dynamics NAV Setup and install Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server, you can use the default configuration information or provide configuration information at once that is then used as the configuration for the default Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance.

After you have installed Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server, you can change any of the settings you provided during Microsoft Dynamics NAV setup, using the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server Administration tool. The Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server Administration tool can be run from the Start menu or from Administrative Tools.

This is a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in for creating and managing Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instances:

A Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance is the service through which the various types of Microsoft Dynamics NAV clients interact with the Microsoft Dynamics NAV SQL Server database. When you install Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server on a computer, there is initially a single default instance Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server. If you need additional instances, then you can either install Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server on additional computers or create additional instances on the same Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server computer.
