Winthrop Development Consultants was the proud sponsor of the Microsoft Dynamics GP track at the recent DynamicsCon Virtual March 2023 conference. Part of the conference sponsorship package required us to create a 60 second video advert for Winthrop Development Consultants.
Thanks to Carol Livingston from Dynamics Connections who recommended the great tool Renderforest which was used to eventually create four new videos, including two shortened one-minute versions.
Microsoft Dynamics GP has added support for Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) to the emailing functionality inside Dynamics GP to allow it to connect to Microsoft Exchange, now that simple authentication is no longer supported.
However, there is no MFA functionality for logging into the Microsoft Dynamics GP application itself… until now.
[Edit] Build 33 of GP Power Tools now supports true MFA on login using an Authenticator app with a One Time Password:
Using GP Power Tools Developer Tools module, with a single after login trigger, it is possible to force the request to connect to Microsoft Exchange and close GP if the connection is not authenticated.
Winthrop Development Consultants is the proud Title Sponsor of #DynamicsConVIRTUAL happening March 15th and 16th.

This article has two purposes. The first is to highlight a very useful script published by Michael Krasivsky from The Resource Group back in 2016. The second is to explain how easy it is to use the GP Power Tools SQL Execute Setup window to execute scripts against multiple databases.
Microsoft Dynamics GP provides access to all the SQL Resources (Tables, Views, Stored Procedures, etc.) using the DYNGRP SQL role. For this technique to work correctly, all GP users need to be assigned to the DYNGRP role and all SQL objects need access “Granted” to the same DYNGRP role.
Back in mid-January, I had fantastic long chat with Christian Buckley from buckleyPLANET about my journey to becoming a Microsoft MVP (Most Valuable Professional), my time with Microsoft, my work since starting Winthrop Development Consultants and my hobbies with music, Lego and robots.
We actually spoke for quite a while before the recording started and it was really enjoyable to compare notes with Christian as some elements of our respective career paths were very similar.
I have left this a bit later than I planned, but this is a request for sponsorship to help me fight cancer and its effects on those fighting this horrible disease as well as on their friends and family.
Canteen Australia is an amazing charity that supports youth and young adults who have been affected (directly or indirectly) by cancer. The Life Cycle for Canteen charity bike rides are the largest single source of financial support for Canteen in Western Australia. Since 1998 over $2,500,000 has been raised and donated.
I received a very interesting email yesterday. AccountingWare, the people behind the ActivReporter reporting tool for GP, created a report on the future of Dynamics GP based on the results of a survey of 164 Microsoft Dynamics GP customers.
This report supports anecdotal evidence that most of the Microsoft Dynamics GP customer base is happy staying with Dynamics GP for the foreseeable future.
It has been a while since GP Power Tools Build 29 was released and there have been a few hotfix releases since then that have not been included in any articles on the blog. So, this article includes information about Builds 29.2, 29.3 and the latest Build 29.4 released on 10-Jan-2023.
These hotfix releases resolve bugs (undocumented features) as well as add some new functionality and enhancements to the product. It is highly recommended that all sites running GP Power Tools install the latest code on all workstation and servers where Microsoft Dynamics GP is installed.
Winthrop Development Consultants products are sold using an annual subscription model which means they need to have their subscription renewed and updated each year to remain functional.
This process is usually fairly smooth and transparent as long as the invoice is paid by the due date and the system is internet connected. Invoices are due one month before the expiry date so that if they are paid on time, the subscription is renewed automatically before any expiry warnings are displayed.
