the QuickBooks Database Server Manager. Navigate to the Windows Start menu,
type "Services" in the search bar, and press Enter. Locate the QuickBooksDBXX

Restart. This action often resolves temporary glitches causing the "QBDBMGRN

the Service status shows "Running." If not, set the Startup type to Automatic and

4. Verify Network Connectivity: Confirm that there are no network connectivity
issues affecting QuickBooks Database Server Manager. Check network cables,
routers, and switches for any signs of malfunction. Ensure that the workstation
running QuickBooks has proper network access to the server hosting the company
file. Troubleshoot any network-related problems to ensure seamless
communication between devices.
5. Firewall and Antivirus Configuration: Adjust firewall and antivirus settings to
allow QuickBooks Database Server Manager to function correctly. Add exceptions
for QuickBooks and its associated processes in firewall and antivirus software to
prevent them from blocking necessary connections. Consult the respective firewall
or antivirus documentation for guidance on adding program exceptions.
6. File Hosting Configuration: Verify that the company file is properly hosted on the
server and accessible by QuickBooks Database Server Manager. Open
QuickBooks on the host computer, navigate to the File menu, select Utilities, and
then Host Multi-User Access. Follow the on-screen instructions to ensure proper
hosting of the company file.

Network Data (.ND) file associated with the company file. Close QuickBooks on all
workstations and navigate to the folder containing the company file. Locate the
corresponding .ND file, rename it, and reopen QuickBooks. QuickBooks will
automatically recreate the .ND file, potentially resolving any corruption issues
causing the error.
