Solutions
Using the data file to perform any accounting task in QBDT becomes impossible until you remove the error. The following methods are accurate in removing the error and preventing it from developing in the future-
Solution 1- Prevent malfunction in the Database Server Manager by fixing the Network Descriptor file
The Network Descriptor file contains information on all the systems and user accounts eligible to access the company file in the multi-user network. The Database Server Manager stops running if the Network Descriptor file gets damaged and the software fails to process it. This error can develop when the DBSM turns unresponsive or stops running in the background when you try setting up a multi-user network. You can fix the issue by recreating the damaged Network Descriptor file and scanning it in the DBSM. Use these steps-
Press Windows+E to open the file explorer and navigate to the QuickBooks folder.
Right-click the network descriptor (.nd) file inside the folder and click Rename.
Add ‘old’ at the end of the .nd file name as an extension and save the file.
Open the DBSM using the search panel and go to the Scan folders tab.
Select the QuickBooks folder from the Browse option and click Start Scan.
Wait until the scan is complete and try accessing the company file from the network again.
If the error code appears again when you try opening/hosting the company file, go to the next solution.
