Dear @rdebath ,

Could you please check the latest version of "ALOps.ExternalDeployer". We some major changes to the way it works. From v1.45 the ExternalDeployer is compatibel with BC v21.

Install-Module -Name ALOps.ExternalDeployer -Force

Kind regards,

Looking good, it's doing the job.

Tiny issue in that it needs an error message if the service name isn't found on service removal.

PS C:\NAV\21.0.46384\NST> Remove-ALOpsExternalDeployer -ServiceName ALOpsExternalDeployer$BCNext
PS C:\NAV\21.0.46384\NST> Remove-ALOpsExternalDeployer -ServiceName 'ALOpsExternalDeployer$BCNext'
*** Stopping existing service
