Terminal Services and QuickBooks 2006 Accountant Version (UK)

[Guest giles.horwood@googlemail.com]

Hi,

 

Has anyone managed to get Quickbooks 2006 Accountant Version working

with Terminal Services on Windows 2003.

 

I have followed the instructions http://ts.veranoest.net/ts_apps_qb.htm

without luck - I am unsure if this applies to the US versions.....

 

Any help much appreciated

Different versions might use some different/extra registry keys.

Did you have a look at this list from Intuit:

http://support.quickbooks.intuit.com/archive/downloads/qb2006

_regkeys.pdf

 

If that still doesn't work, you'll have to identify which registry

keys are specific for your version.

 

Download Process Monitor:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/p

rocessmonitor.mspx

 

Run it as Administrator on the Terminal Server (when no user is

connected), start a TS session as a normal user and try to run the

application.

Process Monitor will show you all "access denied" errors that

occur, so that you can give your users the necessary permissions on

a file-to file or Registry subkey basis.

 

If you get it to work, I would appreciate it very much if you could

report back here which additional registry keys you needed to

modify!

Thanks Vera for your reply, I will give that a try, however the

application will not run even as an Administrator...

 

If I install the program with only Remote Administration mode working

then I can get it working, I need to add standard users to Power

Users, but it does work.

 

However, if I uninstall and setup TS and then reinstall it does not

work for Administrator or any user.....

 

The error that I get is ERROR: Quickbooks failed to load the required

file!!! Please reinstall QuickBooks.

 

Any thoughts would be much appreciated

I assume that you put the server in install mode before installing?

And activated QB immediately after rebooting the server, also in

install mode? Because I believe that this has to do with licensing.

 

Process Monitor should be able to show you which file QB wants to

load.
