Setting Up a User Profile for a Navision Application Server

 For each Navision Application Server that you install, you must set up a user profile. The names of Navision Application Servers are generated during installation.

To create a local user:

1  On the Start menu, click Administrative Tools, Computer Management.

2  Under System Tools, expand Local Users and Groups.

Right-click Users and select New User. You can now create a new local user. Name it, for example, NEP_user. Assign the user to the appropriate groups.

Then you can set up a user profile for your application server. In the following procedure, we use the name "Microsoft Business Solutions– Navision Application Server ServerName", where "ServerName" represents the name that was used when the server was installed.

To set up a user profile for a Navision Application Server:

1  On the Start menu, select Programs, Administrative Tools, Services.

2  Right-click Navision Application Server ServerName and click Stop. If the Stop menu item is gray, then the service is not running.

3  Right-click Navision Application Server ServerName again and click Properties.
