    Properly configuring your QuickBooks Database Server Manager requires these steps. 

     

    • Open the QuickBooks Database Server Manager by selecting "File" from the top menu bar, then selecting "Utilities," and then "QuickBooks Database Server Manager."

    • In the QuickBooks Database Server Manager, select "Database Server Options."

    • In the "Database Server Options" window, select the "Scan Folders" tab.

    • Click on the "Add Folder" button to add the folder containing the company files.

    • Browse to the folder where the company files are stored, select the folder, and then click "OK."

    • Once you have added the folder, click on "Scan" to scan for the company files.

    • Once the scan is complete, the company files should appear in the "QuickBooks Company Files Found" section. You can remove any company files that you do not want to host on the server.

    • Next, go to the "Monitored Drives" tab and ensure that all the drives where the company files are stored are selected.

    • In the "Service Administration" tab, you can check the status of the QuickBooks DB service and start or stop the service if necessary.

    • Finally, click on the "Save Changes" button to save the changes you made to the QuickBooks Database Server Manager configuration.
