TLS 1.2 validation failed in QB Pro 2015

It's great to hear from you today, @paulgraz.

Thanks for reaching out here in the Community. I'd like to provide a little more information regarding TLS 1.2 in QuickBooks Desktop.

It's good you've made some update with your Operating System, Internet Explorer, and .Net Framework. Let me help double-check other settings so we can get rid of this error.

Aside from these updates you've made, you also need to run QuickBooks with elevated privileges (or with Admin rights). This is to make sure that the correct Internet security settings are established.

To do that:

1. Close QuickBooks.
2. Right-click the QuickBooks icon and select Run as Administrator.

Once done, let's re-run the TLS 1.2 Readiness tool. It will recognize the information that you're now running QuickBooks with elevated privileges. Also, you may find this article helpful: https://community.intuit.com/articles/1774614-verify-and-troubleshoot-quickbooks-desktop-and-interne....

3. Select your QuickBooks for Windows version.
4. Select a Topic.
5. Click on the Get Phone Number button.

You can always get back to me if there's anything you need. Wishing you a wonderful rest of the week.

I'm replying to this older posting, because at the very least it has the pertinent background info about the installation at in the original post.

I did the steps outlined Rose about, and the TLS errors went away - for a little while - then they came back for a while, and then they went away on their own.  Very strange.

But our real concern now is that we're getting errors trying to backup, and I just don't have confidence that our installation is generating good backups.  The first error indicates that the backup is not successful, and asks for a data rebuild.  After that's done it says there are duplicate records.  Our QB data entry person says she sees no issues when entering data, just these errors when backing up.

Where do we go from here?

One more screen shot:

Hi there, @paulgraz.

Let's fix the error you're getting when trying to back up your files in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

QuickBooks usually detects these errors if two or more names in your lists are identical. This occurs when importing lists or transactions either from a different company file, from Excel, or other integrated applications.

Rebuilding your company file usually resolve the damage list elements. For the steps, you can check it here: Resolve data damage on your company file.

If the error/s continues after the rebuild, find and edit the duplicate lists to resolve the problem. Before doing the steps, I highly suggest backing up your company file.

You can follow the steps provided in this article to find and edit the duplicate lists: QBWin.log: Verify list. Duplicate name encountered.

In case you have any other QuickBooks concerns in the future, you can always read our help articles: Help articles for QuickBooks Desktop.

Keep in touch if you have any other QuickBooks questions, I'm just here to help. Wishing you continued success!
