I have downloaded the 2009 install software and attempted to install the Demo
Stand-alone version on an XP machine (after reviewing the installation
instructions provided in the Installation & Config manual for 2009). I have
SQL Server 2005 installed (Express).

After installation, I received the following message:

"The Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server cannot connect the Change Listener to SQL
Server due to the following error:

Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE'."

Do I need to adjust a setting/Security to fix this?

Regards.
Diane

Dear Diane

You can define the correct user with rights for Nav-service in the Services
window.

Good morning. Thanks for responding.

This is a lptop not on a network.

The only user I have on this laptop is me (and I am an administrator). I
see the option to "Log on as this Account". I tried changin the Log on to Me
and I also tried changing it to the "Local System". I restarted the service
each time and both with the same results:

"The Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server cannot connect the Change Listener to SQL

Server due to the following error: Cannot open database requested in login
'Demo Database NAV (6-0)'. Login fails. Login failed for user xxxxxxxxxxxx."

Any additional insight?

Change that account to "network service" with no password and try again. Also
restart your service after having changed this.

I changed the account for the NAV Server, SQL Server (SQL EXPRESS) and SQl
Server Agent to NETWORK SERVICE no password and restarted the services.

I receive the following error:

The Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server cannot connect the Change Listener to SQl

Server due to the following error: Login failed for user 'NT
AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE'.

Try to add windows logins in classic client, sychronize all login for the
user you want to use.

Hi Diane,

I had this error....and lost many hours of my life... Tks to Microsoft!
We managed to solve the problem by adding the "Sysadmin" role to the Network
Services user.......go figure why...

Open Server Management Studio-> security-> login -> make sure Network
Services is there select the user -> Server roles -> check sysadmin

I tried all the above and I am also getting the same error.
