It is some time I have noticed one small change which is not described or I never see it in some official documentation (excluding help files).

Dynamics NAV 2009 and SPNs

Everyone, who once tried to install NAV 2009 Server to separate computer than MS SQL Server, needed to solve one “mystery”: how to set the SPNs correctly. Today I will try to uncover the fog around the SPNs and how to set them correctly. At first, I am not expert in this area too. I will try to describe everything as “I understand it”. It means, it could not be fully true, but it works for me. I know that there are already different articles about NAV and SPNs but I have found...

NAV Service Tier management tool for NAV 2009 R2

Today I have finished first version of my remake of the NST Management application. Now, completely done inside NAV! I wanted to test the DotNet interop in NAV 2009 R2, and I have found, that it works, and it works without any problem! Because I already knew what I needed to do the NST management, it was easy to replicate the app from C# into C/AL. If you look at the code, it is easy!
