Buy nowHi All,
Networked QB Enterprise.
A customer of mine's backup is rejecting backing up his .qbw file as someone has it open at night on the server (file lock).
Is there a way I can figure out what workstation(s) is the culprit? (I wrote the backup up, so I can insert the culprit into the eMailed error log.)
Many thanks,
-T
Ooops, forgot to say, no GUI methods please. It needs to be from the command line.
Thanks for posting your question here in the Community, ToddAndMargo.
I want to make sure your customer is able to backup their .qbw file in QuickBooks Desktop without any hiccups.
Here are a few ways to determine which workstation is creating the file lock within the account:

Would you please answer the question I actually asked? And what part of no GUI solutions and it must be from the command line did you miss? I do appreciate you answering, I just wish you'd answer what I actually asked.
Is there something in the ND file I can find what workstation has the QBW file open?
