I'd be pleased to provide you with some information regarding the pros and cons of using the DBXX user and the local account, and why you'll need to have it, JLockX.
The Database Server Manager is a part of the QuickBooks Desktop file. This lets you share your company files with other computers over your network and helps you monitor your multi-user network. Being a BDXX user comes with a lot of perks. Here are just a few:
- You don’t have to buy your own equipment or software licenses
- You don’t have to hire database developers
- You don’t have to build a database system
- You don’t have to hire a large IT crew to maintain the system
The primary cons are you don't have direct access to the servers that are running the database. If you aren't planning to use multi-user access and will run the file on a single computer, you don't have to be a DBXX user.
