Quickbooks Desktop 2019
2 users - Station1 has the database; Station2 has access to the folder
I cloned the existing HDD to a new SSD. No issues except with access to the shared folder. This has been working for years but the computer started to slow greatly. Note also this computer was using purchased McAfee antivirus/security and was using the McAfee firewall and other features. I've done 100's of cloned drives with no issues if the drive wasn't already failing.
Station1 - workstation and has the database
Station2 - workstation accesses the database
From Station1 - if I right-click, properties, share - if I choose the simple share I get a "your folder can't be shared" Windows error. if I right-click, properties, advanced share, permissions I see only the Everyone principal with full control. There is not a Administrators, QBDataServiceUser29, or user name listed. Under Security I only see Everyone with full control.
- should I add these principals?
- should I create another folder and share it?
Note also the error when trying to access Station1 from Station2.
If I type in \\Station1 it shows up but i get a error message "Windows cannot access \\Station1. You do not have permission..."
So this seems to still be a Windows share issue.
I have double checked the Network sharing selections and they are all correct.
Suggestions?
