Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server Administration Tool

The Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server Administration tool is a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in for creating and managing Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instances. When you install the Server Option on a computer, the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server Administration tool is one of the default features. The Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server Administration tool is also an option when you install the Client Option, although it is not one of the default components.

You typically run the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server Administration tool by choosing Microsoft Dynamics NAV Administration from the Start menu. For some scenarios, however, you may need to open the MMC first and then add the Microsoft Dynamics NAV snap-in. For example, see How to: Administer Multiple Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server Computers. In this case, choose Run from the Start menu and then specify the Microsoft Management Console:
