Dynamics NAV service not starting

Business Central/NAV User Forum

Dear All,

I need help. I am using Dynamics NAV 2016. Recently I discovered that the service does not start automatically as it used to. Every day, we have to manually start the service. Sometimes it fails when you start it.

This is a big challenge that I need immediate solution.

Thank you

Take a look at the server event viewer in the application logs to see if there is an error causing the automatic start from not happening. There could be a few reasons for this I’ve generally seen:

  1. Authentication issues with the account you’re using to run the service.
  2. The SQL server is not fully started yet, so the NAV service will fail to start.
  3. Another service is attempting to start that relies on the the same windows services that Dynamics needs to start.

If it is not the authentication issue, you may want to set the start up type to “Automatic (Delayed)” and see if that helps your issue.

Dear Gino,

Thank you so much for the response. I suspect authentication issues. I discovered that the domain controllers are not replicating. This could be the issue.
