Solutions

Using the company file becomes impossible once your QuickBooks falls prey to this error. The methods you are advised to try are explained in detail below-

Solution 1- Recreate the Network Descriptor file before launching QuickBooks Database Server Manager

This file getting damaged directly affects the Database Server Manager and malfunctions in the background.

You can resolve the issue by fixing the network descriptor file and launching the DBSM as described in the steps below-

Press Windows+E on your keyboard to launch the file explorer and go to the QuickBooks folder location in the C: drive.
Open the QuickBooks folder to locate the damaged Network Descriptor file inside.
Right-click the .nd file in the QBDT folder and tap Rename in the options list.
Don’t change the file’s name, just type ‘.old’ as an extension at the end.
Save the file with the new extension and launch the QuickBooks Database Server Manager.
Go to the Scan Folders option and click Browse, located below, to enter the QB folder location.
Tap Start Scan to make the folder contents available for the DBSM to use.
