Quickbooks database manager in virtual environment

Im have to replace an old server that runs our quickbooks database manager.  I have a new server with hyper-v already running some virtual servers.  Does quickbooks support running the database manager on a virtualized windows server?

Your link is broken can you repaste it.  This link says otherwise with https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/help-article/product-system-requirements/system-re... database Windows (natively installed)  means on a physcial server is this info incorrect?

Thanks for joining this thread, @eprunty. I'll provide some information that can help clear up the meaning of Windows (natively installed) in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

 

Please know that the link shared by the previous agent is the 2019 version and is no longer available. This means the one you shared is the updated one.

 

Windows (natively installed) is designed to run on a particular platform. It can be a processor or a device. It operates without any external layers, and this is a server that's already installed on your computer.

 

If you wish to review charges, update your payment method, change a credit card, as well as update billing information and email address, check out this article: Change, manage, or update your Intuit account with CAMPs.

 

Let me know if you have additional questions about system requirements by leaving a comment below. I'll ensure to respond promptly. Have a good day.
