Avoid time-consuming procedures by fixing the issue with the assistance of QB experts available at +1-855-856-0042.

Reasons

You mostly face this error while sharing your company file over the multi-user network. The possible reasons you face issues while running DBSM 2023 on your PC are discussed underneath-

  • Windows Firewall blocks the DBSM processes in the background, or they stop running due to minor issues.

  • A damaged Network Descriptor file or discrepancies in the transaction log file can also cause the DBSM to fail.

  • QuickBooks DBSM can also suffer from issues if it isn’t properly installed on your computer.


Solutions

You won’t be able to work on your financial data or share it with multiple users until you resolve this issue on your QBDT. The appropriate methods to fix the problem and use QB efficiently on your PC are mentioned below-


Solution 1- Restart the QuickBooks Database Server Manager to prevent issues from developing again

Your QB Database Server Manager can stop running or responding if its background processes stop due to minor issues or glitches. This causes problems while sharing the company file data or running QBDT smoothly on your PC. Your multi-user network setup will fail continuously, even after many attempts, until you fix the QuickBooks Database Server Manager issues. Apply the following steps to restart QB Database Server Manager on your PC-

  1. Tap the Windows Start button and click the Gear icon in the pop-up list to launch the control panel.

  2. Go to the Administrative Tools option and go to the Services tab.

  3. Search for QuickBooksDBXX in the list and right-click on it.

  4. Select Restart in the options and wait until the DBSM starts running again.

  5. Open QBDT and try to host the company file in multi-user mode again.

If the DBSM still fails to run and issues develop, jump to the next solution.



Solution 2- Launch QBDT with Admin rights to prevent it from getting blocked

You also run into this issue if QBDT is blocked by the Windows Firewall or fails to access its program files due to a lack of folder permissions. Database Server Manager requires full access to your system drive data as it needs to scan and register multiple files on the multi-user network to run it smoothly. DBSM can straightway malfunction if it fails to access the .nd or .tlg files. You must apply the following steps to assign admin rights to QBDT and follow the same procedure with QBDT if you have installed it separately-

  1. Right-click the QuickBooks.exe icon located inside the QB folder and click Properties.

  2. Go to the Compatibility tab and click Run this program as Administrator checkbox.

  3. Save the settings by clicking Apply and open QuickBooks.
