We are working with an organization that has a small QuickBooks Desktop network (three user license).  One of the regularly used QuickBooks workstations has failed, due to a corrupted Windows profile.  We would like to replace the malfunctioning computer with a different machine.  The server for set up for QuickBooks several years ago and has worked very well.  So, that part of the system has been fully set up for some time now.

My question is, how do we add a new workstation to this QB network?  I don't think that the standard Express installation method is appropriate, since all of the QB company data files are on the server, rather than a workstation.  For example, the <F2> company file path is \\SERVER\Company Files\xxx.QBW (where xxx is the name of the company.

How do I connect this replacement workstation computer to the appropriate data stored on the server?  This setup does not seem to be addressed by the express installation process since in that case, everything ends up on the standalone computer (both QB program and data files).  This system is a working network, with hosting enabled on the server, the QB services running on the server, etc.  I do not want to cause any problems with the network and/or server by adding this workstation.

Thanks for any guidance/assistance you can provide.
