Company file connection issue

Quickbooks pro for Canadian 2019, all the VPN users are working properly, just VM users can not open the company file, the error shows quickbooks on server is fine, but quick on computer can not communicate to the company file, ans ask me to check firewall, I disable firewall, same error.

All vpn users outside office and workstations in office are working, just Visual machines on the same server are now working.

 

And on same server, it is running US 2018 quickbooks server, same error, just vm users could not open the company file.

I am confused with your deployment. Why do you seperate between VPN users and Virtual Machine users? Do you run a Windows RDP solution?

As there is VPN connection not working with something that is not under control, I choose RDP

You may explore this service to compare with your RDP settings. It runs on the same method.

Also I have uninstalled the bitdefender firewall, and disabled windows firewall.

Hello CR32,

 

Thanks for joining in on this thread. I love that you're making use of the QuickBooks Community to search for solutions from other users who have the same issue as you do with QuickBooks Desktop. It's a great way to collaborate, learn from each other, and ultimately get back to business. I can see how this thread hasn't quite gotten you to that last step yet, but I can shed some light on what can cause these issues.

 

There are a few important things to note with what's discussed here. The first is that QuickBooks Desktop system requirements mean the program cannot be run using a virtual environment, including using VPNs. I recommend reviewing the following article to learn about what QuickBooks Desktop needs from your system to run without errors: System requirements for QuickBooks Desktop 2021

 

Another thing to make note of is the mix of Canadian and US products that the original poster mentioned. For instance, they talked about trying to use QuickBooks Desktop Canada, but noted the server is US and with their US version of the product. In this case, you'll want to make sure that Canadian products are working with Canadian systems, including the Database Server Manager for this region if you need to work with that tool.

 

For instances where you do need some folks to have virtual access, it's best to explore a hosting platform. Our article What hosting providers are authorized by Intuit? goes over what hosting is and what providers Intuit authorizes to use for QuickBooks Desktop. If you'd like to learn more about a particular provider, click the link to their website from the article and you can browser their site and connect with their support team.

 

I hope this has helped clear some of this up!
