Reasons

Some of the primary reasons for Database Server Manager failing to run are described below-
  • The company file you are trying to host with multi-user access is in an unsupported format after getting damaged.
  • Windows Firewall settings restrict DBSM from running its background processes or accessing the drive folders.
  • The Network Descriptor file in the QB folder has been damaged, or the DBSM program files are damaged.

Solutions

You can eradicate the problem by applying the techniques given underneath-

Solution 1- Re-install QuickBooks Database Server Manager on your computer

QuickBooks Database Server Manager might struggle to run if its program files get damaged, or the Windows firewall restricts the application. Several other minor glitches might infect the program and stop it from running smoothly. A way to counter the problem is by removing QB DBSM from your PC and installing it again.
  1. Press the Windows key + R window on your keyboard simultaneously.
  2. Type appwiz.cpl in the Run window and click Ok.
  3. Go to the Program and Features window, and select QuickBooks database server manager.
  4. Click on Uninstall and follow the directions given on the screen.
Go to the folder that contains the installation files and follow these steps-
  1. Right-click on the folder and select Rename.
  2. Add .OLD as an extension to the file name.
After the folder is renamed, follow this procedure to install DBSM again on your PC-
  1. Close your QuickBooks.
  2. Open Setup_QuickBooks.exe, and start the installation procedure.
  3. You’ll have to fill in your product and license number.
  4. Select Custom when asked for the installation type and click Next.
  5. Now, choose,” I'll be using QuickBooks Desktop on this computer, and I'll be storing...”  if you want both QuickBooks desktop and database server manager to be installed on your host computer.
                                                                          Or
          Choose “I will not be using QuickBooks…” if you only want the Database server manager installed.
     6.  Finally, Click Install.
After completing the process, try to run your QuickBooks; if the error still exists, move to the next solution.

Solution 2- Run the File Doctor tool from the QuickBooks Tools hub
