Sage 100

We will be upgrading a client from 2016 Standard to 2016C Advanced. We plan to run the Application Server as a service. They do not have a domain. According to Alnoor's Bible regarding how to set up the App Server, the account that runs the App Server should be a domain account with local admin rights. Since there is no domain, is there going to be an issue using the Local System account?

From my experience the issue arises when you use an account to start/run the service which also doesn't provide rights to view other servers. My sole problem arose when an EU setup a new Advanced server on \\server1 and stored paperless on \\server2. Everything worked well until they tried to use paperless because the account running the service didn't have rights to see \\server2. So far as I've experienced the issue is primarily around the above. Sage on one server. Paperless storage on another. If everything is on one server I don't think there's an issue. I believe you can test by logging into the network with the account you are going to run the service on and seeing if you can navigate in Windows Explorer to the \\server2 (presuming you were intending to store paperless on \\server2). If it comes back with an error then you need to check the user rights.

I have seen some weirdness if the user account running the service isn't a domain admin with the auto-check reconciliation upload. It will keep coming back with the message ""network location not found"" and the fix is to change the user running the service to a domain admin which you wouldn't have...
