The company file is severely damaged and fails to open when QBDT tries to establish a connection.
QuickBooks DBSM processes are blocked by the Windows Firewall or an antivirus protecting your system.
Database Server Manager also suffers an impact if QuickBooks fails to process the Network Descriptor file due to damage or corruption.
Solutions
You must apply the techniques mentioned below to fix your Database Server Manager and ensure it doesn’t create problems in the future-
Solution 1- Update your Windows Firewall and restart QB DBSM service
Database Server Manager fails to run and set up the multi-user network if it gets blocked by the Windows Firewall. The software can develop various errors (H202, 6144 103) when the multi-user network fails due to malfunction in the DBSM. You are also suggested to remove QBDBMGrN.exe and QBDBMgr.exe from the blocked list of your antivirus to ensure it runs smoothly. You’ll have to update your Windows firewall to configure its settings correctly & protect QB from its excessive restrictions-
Launch the Run window using the Windows + R keys.
Type Control Firewall.cpl accurately in the search field and press Enter.
Click the Update your Firewall option in the Windows Firewall menu.
Tap Update Now and click the Use recommended settings option to check if a new update is available.
Let the process finish and reboot your computer.
After your Windows firewall is fully updated, you must now proceed to restart the QB DBSM service, as it fixes minor issues that might be responsible for this error. Use the steps mentioned below-
Open Run (Windows + R) again and type Services.msc in the search field.
Tap Enter and scroll the list to search for any of these services- QuickBooksDB26, QuickBooksDB27, QuickBooksDB28, or QuickBooksDB29.
Right-click whichever service from the abovementioned options and select Restart.
Try opening QuickBooks again after restarting your system.
If DBSM still fails to run or perform its functions correctly, move to the next solution.
Solution 2- Run your QuickBooks DBSM as an Administrator
You can also run into this issue if QB DBSM processes are interrupted by other applications, or it fails to acquire the required system resources. If you have installed DBSM separately on your PC, use the following steps to use QB DBSM in Admin mode-
Type ‘database’ in the search panel located on the taskbar.
