Now a days I am receiving a lot of time the same question as “how can I create an online sandbox / Production with W1 version?” so I think that a quick post could help someone in the future with the same problem.
How to Create a Business Central W1 version Environment on the Cloud ?
When you create a new SaaS environment from the Dynamics 365 Business Central Admin Center, you get to choose the type of environment (Production or Sandbox) and the Business Central available location (from the Country dropdown). But, surprise! You won’t find “W1” in the list.
Does that mean you can’t create a W1 online sandbox? Absolutely not! W1 isn’t a country it’s a special technical “distribution.” That’s why it doesn’t show up in the country list.
Here’s the trick: To create an online sandbox using W1, you need to pick a country that’s based on W1. These countries use the W1 version, so choosing one of them will give you a W1 sandbox. You can find the list of these W1-based countries in the BCContainerHelper Powershell module.
Following table shows the list of countries coming Base Application as W1 version on Cloud for D365 Business Central.
