Experiencing QuickBooks Error H101 can be quite disruptive, especially when it hampers accessing company files over a network. Here's a concise, point-wise guide on how to fix this error:
- Check Hosting Settings: Only the server (main computer) should host the company files. Ensure all other workstations have the hosting mode turned off.
- Configure firewall settings: Update your firewall and configure it to allow QuickBooks-specific ports (8019, 56728, and 55378-55382) through both inbound and outbound rules.
- Verify QuickBooks Services: On the server, check that the QuickBooksDBXX and QBCFMonitorService are running and set to start automatically.
- Create a New Folder for Company Files: Sometimes, creating a new shared folder with full access permissions and moving your QuickBooks company file there can resolve the issue.
- Use QuickBooks File Doctor: Download and run this tool from the QuickBooks Tool Hub to automatically diagnose and fix network-related issues causing the QuickBooks Error Code H101 error.
