To streamline the process, the software allows sharing the company file with multiple systems concurrently. But the network sometimes breaks down due to internal issues in the software. QuickBooks Error H101 on the screen indicates that the software has failed to set up the multi-user network. If you see this error code on your QuickBooks while opening a company file or using the multi-user mode, go through this blog to learn about the conditions that develop this error and the methods to eliminate it. Prevent your business from getting affected by troubleshooting this error with the assistance of a QB expert available at 1.855.738.2784.

  2. Reasons QuickBooks develops this hosting error while switching to multi-user mode if your PC is affected by the following conditions- QuickBooks hosting settings aren’t correct, and workstations are running in multi-user mode. The Network Descriptor file has been hit by corruption or a virus and can no longer be processed in the software. Windows Firewall does not allow QuickBooks to connect with other systems.

  3. Solutions The following methods are useful to troubleshoot this QuickBooks hosting error-

  4. Solution 1- Ensure your QB hosting settings are correct QuickBooks can be used to set up a multi-user network in which a server computer hosts the data file in multi-user mode, and all the remaining workstations use the file in single-user mode. This error blocks access to the company file or stops you from switching to multi-user mode if one or more workstations start running in multi-user mode. This causes a failure in the multi-user network and generates the error you are experiencing. Configure the hosting settings using these steps-

  5. Launch QuickBooks on the workstation that initially fell prey to this error. Click File and select Utilities. Tap Stop hosting multi-user access to use the single-user mode. Go to all the workstations individually and switch them to single-user mode. Run QuickBooks on the server computer and go to the Utilities option in the File menu. Single-click the Host multi-user access option. Restart all the systems and open the data file in multi-user mode on your server computer. Use the next method if the error still creates problems in your QuickBooks.

  6. Solution 2- Patch up the damaged Network Descriptor (.nd) file This error can also stop you from setting up the multi-user network if the network descriptor file suffers from damage. You’ll need to rename the file, which helps it get recreated when you rerun QuickBooks on your system. Use the following steps- Go to the QuickBooks folder using the file explorer. Right-click the .nd file inside the QuickBooks folder and click Rename. Add ‘.old’ at the end of the file name and save it. Run QuickBooks Database Server Manager and go to the Scan Folders tab. Choose the QuickBooks folder where you edited the file and tap Start Scan. Wait for the scan to complete and open QuickBooks again.
