SharePoint 2010 Installation on a single machine, you need a domain username for the service account!

When you are installing SharePoint on a single machine, we usually simulare a 2 server farm environment by choosing "Complete" and then in the Products and Configuration Wizard, we put in the local administrator username as "Workgroup\Username" and it just goes through fine, basically we were able to cheat SharePoint 2007 to consider the same machine as 2 machines!

Not with SH 2010, SH 2010 "Complete" installation, during the products configuration wizard, does not allow you to enter a workgroup administrator, it definitely requires a domain account!

Which means, if you need to have SH 2010 installed on a single machine, either the machine needs to be a Domain Controller with Active Directory hosted or you need to just use the inbuilt database installation.

During both these wizards, in the Input Parameters, your SP's Input Parameter will be listed. Here, you need to create a filter, which sends out it's value to the SP's filter. For example, if your SP's Input Parameter is @Emp

Role tailored client issue Changing stored procedure to 64 bit in NAV 2009 Did install Dynamics NAV 2009 on windows 2008 64 bit / Windows 7 65 bit. When trying to connect to the database in classic client I got this error. The following SQL server error or errors occurred: 17750,“42000”,[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Could not load the DLL C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\60\Database\xp_ndo.dll, or one of the DLLs it references. Reason: 193(failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason: 15100). SQL: INSERT INTO [#$ndo$groups] {CALL [master]..[xp_ndo_enumusergroups](?,?)} The reason for this error is that the installed xp_ndo.dll is 32 bit and not 64 bit. My solution was simple to replace xp_ndo.dll with the 64 bit version. 1. Stop SQL server 2. Copy \\vedfssrv01\DynamicsNAV2009\W1\DVD\Sql_esp\x64\ xp_ndo_x64.dll to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\60\Database 3. Rename existing xp_ndo.dll to xp_ndo_x32.dll 4. Rename xp
