SETUP
Quickbooks 2014 H202 error. So the Quickbooks is setup in a traditional style. The Quickbooks Server is installed on the Windows Server 2012 x64. Quickbooks is setup on the Windows 7 x64 client pc's.
The FILE SHARE is mapped to Q DRIVE but QUICKBOOKS is trying to access the file via \\ip-address-here\qb-file-name-here
ERROR
The client PC's can see the FILE SHARE trying to access the Quickbooks file gets the dreaded H202 error. This basically means, "something's wrong."
SOLUTION
The FILE SHARE is locked down to the ACCOUNTING group. The Quickbooks QuickBooksDB24 Service is starting with a new user called Quickbooks-something-I-can't-remember.
Either:
- -add the QBUSER to the group that has access to the FILE SHARE.
OR:
- -click START > RUN
- -type: services.msc
- -double-click: QuickBooksDB24
- -a new window opens.
- -click LOGON (at the top).
- -bullet THIS ACCOUNT.
- -type in a USERNAME & PASSWORD of a USER in the group that has access to the FILE SHARE.
- -restart the QUICKBOOKSDB24 service.
That should do it.
