Reasons

In case the Database Server Manager fails to run, you’ll face problems setting up the multi-user network in QuickBooks. The DBSM can malfunction if the following conditions develop on your QuickBooks-

• The Network Descriptor files fail to run due to its corrupt format, which might result from a virus attack or data corruption.
  

• Windows Firewall or antiviruses may hinder the DBSM background processes, causing issues when you host the file on the server.
  

• QuickBooks might be internally damaged and malfunctioning due to minor issues that develop due to defective installation.

Solutions

You cannot share the company file data on a network until you fix the DBSM issues on your PC. The usable methods to prevent issues from interrupting the DBSM functions are given below-

Solution 1- Fix the Network Descriptor file to make DBSM functional again

The Network Descriptor file ensures the multi-user network is correctly set up when you try sharing a data file on the network. The file stores the path to the data source and workstations, and the Database Server Manager runs the file whenever you switch the server computer to multi-user mode. Your DBSM might fail to start or crash randomly in the background if the network descriptor file cannot be processed due to its unreadable format. You need to recreate the Network Descriptor file to avoid issues in the future. Here’s how-

• Go to the file explorer with the help of the folder icon on the taskbar.
  

• Visit the QB folder location and right-click the Network Descriptor file inside it.
  

• Tap the Rename option and type ‘.old’ at the end of the file name as an extension.
  

• Save the network descriptor file with the new name and try to host the company file again after rebooting QuickBooks.
  

  If the DBSM still fails to work correctly, move to the next solution.
  

  Solution 2- Check the antivirus settings and launch the QB tool hub
  

  Database Server Manager might also face trouble running if the Windows Firewall or Antivirus blocks its files and processes. You need to check the quarantine list of the antivirus and remove QB-related files like QBDBMgrN.exe and QBDBmgr.exe. Then you can run the QB tool hub as shown below to remove technical glitches from the software-
  

  • Open the latest version of the QBDT tool hub and click the Program Problems menu.
    

  • Select the Quick Fix My Program option and wait until the bugs and glitches are removed automatically.
