intermittent h202 error 2016 Pro Database Server Manager

DWhite20 · ‎March 17, 2020

I'm running 2016 QB Pro Database Server Manager on Windows Server 2016 Standard. It runs fine for about a week and the users can open the databases in multi-user mode. But once a week or every two weeks, they can't open in multi-user mode and get a H202 error. The only way I've found to make this go away is to close the Server Manager, re-open it, and scan the QB directory. After that they can resume without problem. I would like to know if anybody might have a fix for this.

A workaround would be fine too. Would it work to schedule a restart of the QB services on the server every day? Or would that break Server Manager and it would need to be closed and re-opened anyway?

Thanks for your help
