Hi austin365,
Great job with the troubleshooting you've done! I'm glad to hear that setting up using a local system has solved the errors you encountered. I see the section of the article you're referring to and I'd like to do what I can to shed some light on it.
The article notes: "Only some set-ups allow it (the Database Manager Service) to work on Local System." The Database Manager Service only operates on a Local System with some configurations. It sounds like it's working with your set-up, but if you come across an instance where you need to change the configurations, the Database Manager Service might not be able to work on the Local System anymore.
If you have concerns about your set-up and changes you may make to it, I recommend calling the phone support team. That way, you'll be able to go into more detail about how you're setting up the Database Manager Service with QuickBooks Desktop. Reach out at 1-877-772-9158. You can get in touch with Pro and Premier agents 24/7 and Enterprise agents from Monday to Friday between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. EST.

Have a great week!
