Install

Hi. I have already tried Quickbooks File Doctor. It was the very first thing I attempted. Did not fix.

I have reviewed the page you linked which lists three suggestions for if QBCFMonitorService is not running:

1. Configure you firewall port to open 8019.

It is configured correctly by both Quickbooks installation and verified here. Port 8019 is open as well as the “dynamic port”: 62979. Again manually starting the service fixes the issue proving the firewall is not misconfigured.

2. Ensure the server has hosting turned on

It clearly does. Manually starting QBCFMonitorService fixes everything proving hosting is on and not the root cause.

3. Ping the server

Please understand this is technically not over a physical network since it is Windows Server 2016 with Remote Desktop Services (RDS), although it does utilize network sockets. It is not multiple workstations/servers. So yes, I can ping 127.0.0.1 as well as its IP address 192.168.22.10 from both admin and client accounts.

Again I believe this is a startup race condition with QBCFMonitorService and DNS Server on Windows 2016 Server with RDS.

Does QBCFMonitorService provide debug logging?

Thank you
