My first full year (January-December)of writing on my blog has passed. When I saw this post on the "NAV Developer's blog", I just thought: "hey, that's a good idea to end this year of blogging. Let's make an overview of my blog as well". And here it is. I was quite surprised...
Today, I got the message that Microsoft Dynamics NAV is officially compatible with Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 ! Here you can find the official announcement. So, this means exactly that Microsoft Dynamics NAV 5.0 SP1 and Microsoft Dynamics NAV 4.0 SP3 is compatible with...
Two posts in one day ... It's not really my habit, but it's just too interesting (and definitely a "hot topic") to not to inform you of this. I promised in my previous post that a next one regarding compatibility would follow. I just got the necessary (official) compatibility information...
I had this issue at a customer of ours. The error message " Login failed for user 'sa' because the account is currently locked out " surprised me a bit. I didn't know this was possible. Actually, it is even possible to not have any admin anymore in the database, by locking out sa...
It has been on partnersource for a while now, but I wanted to highlight it again.

I notice that for most people, it's still a big question what are the most important differences between 32-bit and 64-bit. I hope this table will help you understand why 64 bit os better, and why it doesn't have to be that more expensive. General Memory Limits 32-bit 64-bit Total Virtual Address...
This is going to be an article about "Index Hinting". I'm ashamed that I did not know about this feature until for a few weeks ago. Why? Because it has been in the bible for a long time (fyi, "the bible" is "The Application Designer's Guid" aka the w1w1adg.pdf on...
I recently got an interesting explanation on why x64 is more interesting when your system has more than 4 Gb of memory. The background is the size of the memory. An x86 server system can manage a maximum of 4 GB of memory. This limits the addressable memory space for Windows server 2003 systems to 4...
