Today, Microsoft has published new article about easy deployment of the latest version of Microsoft Dynamics NAV on their blog. It is important to know that Microsoft always publishes the latest cumulative update (currently it is NAV 2015 with cumulative update 7). You can use this image to test the newest NAV 2015 version or to use as efficiency demo environment on Microsoft Azure.

I have also wrote about this image in my older posts and I can remind you about them:

I will prepare few more articles about this image, very soon.

Using ClickOnce to create Windows Client for NAV2015 Image on Microsoft Azure

The last time when I wrote about new NAV 2015 image on Microsoft Azure, I showed you how to create VM and how to change credential to NavUserPassword for really cloud using. After running the Initialize the Virtual Machine, you got possibility to run all NAV clients from VM and Web Client from your computer. Of course, for this you had to add new Endpoint on Microsoft Azure Portal: HTTPS, with 443 as port numbers. But, I suppose you want to use NAV with Windows Client from your PC. For this usage, we again got an excellent tool on Welcome screen. You need to click on Install Click Once deployment of the Windows Client link and you will find PowerShell script in DEMO folder. You need to run your PowerShell ISE as Administrator and open this script install.ps1. Now, you only need to run this PS script. After few minutes, system will show you all links, and on the end link for ClickOnce. ClickOnce1

Now, you have to add new Endpoints on your Microsoft Azure Portal:

  • HTTP, with 80 as port numbers for ClickOnce install (this port is configured in previous script)
  • Windows Client, with 7046 for NAV Window Client running

When you finish with Endpoints, you have to use your ClickOnce link from URLs file on your Internet Explorer. System will open ClickOnce Online Installation page. You need to run Install and wait. ClickOnce2

After installation is finished, you only need to fill your credentials and run your Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015 Windows Client on Microsoft Azure.

That’s all about easy using script for ClickOnce Windows Client installation. But, I will show you something more about it few daysd
