How about THIS for more QB fun and games, kids? I ALWAYS turn off automatic update and I even disable the qbupdate process. But apparently Intuit, in their infinite wisdom, has decided that my 22 years in IT (nearly 13 of those wrangling QuickBooks) isn't enough to trust me with managing my own environment and they merrily did an update last night. It wiped out all of my users shortcut icons (and boy they struggle when my carefully configured, personalized desktops go awry) AND loaded a version of R5 that is now crashing like everyone else's. I guess they figured I was going to feel left out with a stable version of R5. Until last night, my main QB server and remote desktop server were stable and my users were happy.
Alas, no more. My users are angry because QuickBooks Enterprise 2022 r5_143 is about as stable as the psychotic IT manager that I'm about to morph into. Now I'm going to have to slog through files and backups to find an older version of R5 that I know I have saved somewhere because I never delete anything. If I didn't know better, I would think Intuit was driving me to use QuickBooks Online.......Which, btw Intuit folks, I will NEVER do because it isn't robust enough, it would be prohibitively expensive to manage the 150+ company files I manage, and I wouldn't trust you to host our annual holiday party, which only needs all the booze you can drink to be a success.
And please don't reply how you don't want this to be my experience with QuickBooks and how it can be solved by using the QB hub tool, or QB file doctor, or just run a repair on the company file (all 150+ are broken? That doesn't reflect well on you now, does it). Looks like another all-nighter for me.
