ArcherPoint Dynamics NAV Business Central Developer Digest - vol 301
The Dynamics NAV and Business Central community, including the ArcherPoint technical staff, is made up of developers, project managers, and consultants who are constantly communicating, with the common goal of sharing helpful information with one another to help customers be more successful.
As they run into issues and questions, find the answers, and make new discoveries, they post them on blogs, forums, social media…so everyone can benefit. We in Marketing watch these interactions and never cease to be amazed by the creativity, dedication, and brainpower we’re so fortunate to have in this community—so we thought, wouldn’t it be great to share this great information with everyone who might not have the time to check out the multitude of resources out there? So, the ArcherPoint Microsoft Dynamics NAV Developer Digest was born. Each week, we present a collection of thoughts and findings from NAV/BC experts and devotees around the world. We hope these insights will benefit you, too.

Find Out How Many Users are Connected to Business Central with PowerShell
Kyle’s Developer Tip of the Day: “How many people are connected to BC? PowerShell to the rescue!
$dt = New-Object System.Data.Datatable
dt = Get-NAVServerSession -ServerInstance BCProd
Write-Host $dt.count
Or you can just get a list with detail:
Get-NAVServerSession -ServerInstance BCProd”
Jon notes: “Bloggable”
Kyle adds: “I improved it a little. This will count the number of sessions for a particular service tier system.
$localhost = “$env:computername.$env:userdnsdomain”
$localhost = $localhost.ToLower()
$dt = New-Object System.Data.Datatable
$dt = Get-NAVServerSession -ServerInstance BCProd
$counter = 0
ForEach ($connection in $dt) {
$nst = $connection.ClientComputerName
$nst = $nst.ToLower()
if ($nst -eq $localhost) {
$counter += 1
}
}
Write-Host $counter
