Description

Use the Mount-NAVApplication cmdlet to mount a Microsoft Dynamics NAV database that contains the application tables against a Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance. You can only mount one Microsoft Dynamics NAV application at a time.

The database can be a dedicated application database, or a database that contains all Microsoft Dynamics NAV tables.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Mount-NAVApplication DynamicsNAV -DatabaseServer dbserver1 -DatabaseName 'NAV App'

This example mounts the Microsoft Dynamics NAV application on the DynamicsNAV server instance. The application is contained in the NAV App database, which is hosted on the dbserver1 database server.

EXAMPLE 2

Mount-NAVApplication DynamicsNAV -DatabaseServer dbserver1 -DatabaseName 'NAV App' -DatabaseCredentials (Get-Credential)

This example mounts the Microsoft Dynamics NAV application on the DynamicsNAV server instance and configures the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance to use SQL authentication with the application database. The database credentials (user name and password) are provided in a dialog box that results from the call to the Get-Credential cmdlet.
