Quickbooks POS and enterprise connection - server only things?

Let me provide you with some information about QuickBooks POS and Enterprise connection, pleaseheIplol1234.

Normally, logging into the QuickBooks server whether it's POS or Enterprise to do the update or sync is done manually. You'll want to contact your server provider to check if you're able to do them automatically. 

In connection to this, here's how you can set up users and restrictions to access your server manually. I've added this article for more information: QuickBooks Desktop Users and Restrictions. Additionally, you may experience issues with POS when connecting to the server. Go through this article for your guide: Troubleshoot Multi-User Issues In Point of Sale.

It is our server, in house. And by server, I mean an actual Windows Server OS running the company wide server functions (i.e. DDNS, file server, etc...)

It is just odd to let a general user onto an actual server, from an IT perspective.

Is there a way to script the sync between the two?

Welcome back, pleaseheIplol1234.

I can provide further details regarding permitting other computers to access your company's files stored on your server.

To provide other computers access to your company files saved on your server, you'll need to go through a series of procedures to set up and install a multi-user network. Please follow the instructions in this article: Set up and install a multi-user network for QuickBooks Desktop.

The multi-user setup is already done for both POS and QB Enterprise desktop.

I am told that to do the POS to QB desktop sync, it has to be done of the computer hosting the files. I would like automate that, so general users are not accessing the server.

Appreciate the update, @pleaseheIplol1234.

As of the moment, there isn't an integrated way to automate the sync update from QuickBooks Point of Sale (POS) to QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). Instead, you can set up a financial exchange setting to transfer your data to QBDT hosting the server.
