Actions to fix qbdbmgrn not running while sharing a company file

You cannot open the data file in multi-user mode to share it with other users until you fix the issues with your DBSM. The techniques that must be used to rectify this DBSM issue are discussed below-

Solution 1- Turn on multi-user access on the server and run all the workstations in single-user mode

QuickBooks enables users to share their company files by opening them on the server in multi-user mode and running all the workstations in single-user mode. In case one or more workstations run in multi-user mode, Database Server Manager fails to start, and the multi-user network breaks down. You can tackle the problems by correctly setting the QB hosting settings to ensure only the server computer uses the multi-user mode. Refer to these steps-

• Approach the workstation where you encounter this error and access the QB File menu.
• Select Utilities in the options and click Stop hosting multi-user access.
  
• Switch all your workstations to single-user mode using the same steps and go to the server.
  
• Click the Utilities option in the QuickBooks File menu and select Host multi-user access in the list.
  
• Restart all the systems after configuring the hosting settings and open the data file in multi-user mode.

Solution 2- Remove QB files from the quarantine list of your antivirus

Database Server Manager can also face problems running on your computer if its files get blocked or quarantined by the security software on your PC. DBSM instantly stops working when its file or background processes fail to run. Use these steps-

• Open your antivirus menu and go to the Blacklist or Quarantined files section.
• Search the list and remove all the QB-related files like QBUpdate.exe, QBDBMgrN.exe, QBW32.exe, QBDBMgr.exe, etc.
  
• Disable your antivirus and try sharing the company file again.
