Reasons The following conditions lead to issues while switching to the multi-user mode in QuickBooks- If a workstation runs in multi-user mode, QuickBooks faces trouble switching to multi-user mode and accessing the company file in all the other systems. An unexpected crash of Database Server Manager in the background can cause the multi-user network to fail. QuickBooks fails to switch to the multi-user mode when the Network Descriptor file in the QB folder gets damaged.

  4. Solutions You can resolve the multi-user mode issue on your QuickBooks by applying the techniques mentioned underneath- Solution 1- Configure QuickBooks hosting settings to stop workstations from using the multi-user mode The multi-user network is set up by hosting a company file in the server computer to allow workstations to access it.

Tap the Stop Hosting multi-user access option and repeat the same steps on all the workstations. Now, approach your server computer and open the QuickBooks File menu. Single-click Utilities and select Host multi-user access option. Reboot all the systems and try switching to multi-user mode in QuickBooks. If the error still stops you from using the multi-user mode, move to the next solution.

  6. Solution 2- Recreate the damaged Network Descriptor file in the QB folder You can also face this multi-user mode issue if the Database Server Manager stops running in the background. This happens when the Network Descriptor file in the QB folder gets damaged and fails to run. You must recreate the file to make sure the issues don’t arise the next time your try switching to multi-user mode. Use these steps- Use the file explorer to visit your QuickBooks folder and find a file with a .nd extension inside the folder. Right-click the .nd file and select Rename in the options.
