GP #LifeHacks 113: Resetting Forgotten System Password

Some of the administrator type functions in Dynamics GP use a system password in order to provide a thin layer of protection against unintentional and/or inappropriate use.
This password often gets misplaced, forgotten, or just disappears with turnover.
I have some good news for you if you fall into this situation… A SQL Script can be used to reset the password.

How to connect Power BI to GP Home Screen

Dynamics GP can display reports that are pinned to a dashboard in Power BI.  After following these instructions, if you do not see any available reports, be sure to add them to a Dashboard in Power BI.  I created a Dashboard called GP PBI (in Power BI) and only pinned the reports that I wanted to optionally display in Dynamics GP.

Dynamics GP & Power BI – What it does and how to use it – New for GP2018

Dynamics GP has had a few iterations of its Power BI integration over the years.  I was very excited to see Power BI functionality in GP – this started with ~Dynamics GP 2016.  Despite my excitement, I found it hard to ‘get on board’ as the functionality was limited and somewhat unreliable.  Microsoft heard our case and delivered many changes with Dynamics GP 2018.  The Power BI and Dynamics GP friendship has been renewed and I think you will really like it!
PBI
I have implemented this for a few businesses who use Dynamics GP… they LOVE IT, and so do I!  This blog is meant to outline how this functionality works in GP and in Power BI.  There is a lot to cover… and to keep our “millennial” attention spans primed, I broke this into a few blog posts.
Some of this is already available from other sources, but for my own reference, I wanted to create a series so I can easily reference it all in one place… as I learn more, I will update these blogs accordingly.
