I am trying to install NAV 2017 for the first time and after 7+ tries of various installation settings and parameters i end up with the installation screen rolling back and no NAV.
My Setup
Machine 1: Windows 2012 R2 Server (VM, will house the NAV Server and Client) + (part of a domain)
Machine 2: Windows 2012 R2 Server (VM, will house the database for NAV) + (MS SQL 2012 Standard) + (part of a domain)
There is no firewall enabled on either machines. I do have hardware firewall that blocks all outside traffic. However, Machine 1 and Machine 2 are completely open to each other.
Steps so Far
- I have created a new user on the domain controller to be used as the service account
- permitted this user (domain\navsvc) in the local policy of machine 1 and machine 2 to log on as service
- Restored the database from the installation files on machine 2
- granted access to Nav2017 db for user "domain\navsvc" as db_owner
- Started the install
Installation options
- Run setup file (as administrator) (agreed to all terms and conditions)
- Selected the Custom option
- Selected Client (Plus Development Environment C/Side), Administration Tool, and Server
- Changed the Destination folders from C drive to D drive (more free space) for both x86 and normal
- Server Name: localhost
- Service Name: DynamicsNAV100
- Service Account: domain\navsvc
- Service Account password: <passsword>
- Management Services Port: 7045
- Add Management Services Rule to Firewall: No
- Client Services Port: 7046
- SOAP Services Port: 7047
- SOAP Services Enabled: No (i have tried it with yes as well)
- OData Services Port: 7048
- OData Services Enabled: No (i have tried it with yes as well)
- Add rule to Firewall: No (i have tried it with yes as well)
- Credential Type : Windows ( i have tried with Microsoft Dynamics NAV User Password as well -- although i dont know what is the difference)
- DNS identity: blank
- Access Control Service URI: blank
- SQL Server : <Server IP Address> (i have tried it with the server name as well)
- SQL Server Instance: blank
- SQL Database: Nav2017
- OData Web Services Base URL: blank
- SOAP Web Services Base URL: blank
- Web Client Base URL: blank
- Windows Client Base URL: blank
- Help Server: <local machine name>
- Help Server port: 49000
Then hit apply and the installation starts. 10 min later i see all the two check marks against the Client and Administration and the Server component still being installed. However, before the installation finishes i see it all rolling back and i get this error
Error
The service "Microsoft dynamics nav server [DynamicsNAV100]' (MicrosoftDynamicsNavServer$DynamicsNAV100) failed to start. This can be caused by one of serveral issues. For example, the password for the account that runs the service may be incorrect, or there could be a conflict in port sharing for the port settings for the service, or you have specified that the port for the server should be opened in the windows firewall even though the windows firewall is not enabled on the computer. for more information see the event viewer
I have gone through the event viewer and it tells me nothing. I am stuck and need some help
Thank you in advance
Ali.
