If the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance is on an Azure virtual machine that is running Windows Server 2012 R2, you get the following error when you run the Import-NAVEncryptionkey cmdlet:

Import-NAVEncryptionKey : The path to Windows Communication Foundation was not found on the service tier. It was expected to be in folder 'C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation'.Have you installed the .NET Framework 3.0?

Resolution

You must install the HTTP Activation feature on the Azure virtual machine. Perform one of the following procedures:

  • Run the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Administration Shell as Administrator, and then run the following cmdlet:
     Copy Code
    install-windowsfeature -Name NET-HTTP-Activation
  • Open Server Manager, and then use the Add Roles and Features Wizard to install HTTP Activation, which is available under the .NET Framework 3.5 feature.
    For more information, see Install or Uninstall Roles, Role Services, or Features.
