Why Is Quickbooks Multi-User Mode Not Working?
The multi-user mode in Quickbooks lets multiple users access company files at the same time. When setting up Quickbooks for multi-user mode, there are a few pitfalls we see users make that will eventually call for troubleshooting.
Below are some steps that can help eliminate H202 and -60001 errors. These solutions will help make your Quickbooks the most stable environment for your end users.
Follow these steps to help your multi-user setup go more smoothly and save yourself headache in the future:
Run the QB server on Microsoft Windows Server operating system instead of Microsoft Windows 10 or 11.
Make sure the hosting computer has a static IP address.
Fully disable IPv6 in the control panel AND in the registry of the QB server.
Ensure that there is no conflict with the DNS server.
If the QB server is installed on a domain controller, then you must take additional steps to ensure that there is no conflict with the DNS server. The QB database server will use the same ports as the DNS, which will cause them to break unless you run a specific command to make them not conflict with one another.
To check for conflict:
- Stop the DNS Server service AND the QB service.
- Reserve the port using netsh from the command prompt and type: netsh int ipv4 add excludedportrange protocol=udp startport=55368 numberofports=5
Start both services again and see if the problem is resolved.
Make adjustments to the Windows firewall.
Always put the QB database files on the C: drive of the server.
