Hi there, @nags.  I'm here to share some steps that can help you with your concern about how to move your QuickBooks Database Manager to another server without being asked for the administration password.

Let’s install the QuickBooks Database Server Manager on your server computer. Please take note that this will host your company files.

Here’s how:

1. Close all open programs on your server computer, including QuickBooks.
2. Open the install file you downloaded. It's called Setup_QuickBooks.exe.
3. Follow the onscreen instructions. If you need to find your product or license numbers, here's how to find them.
4. When QuickBooks asks you to choose an install type, select Custom or Network Options. Then select Next. Don't select Express.
5. Choose the best option for your network setup and then select Next. Both options install the Database Server Manager. If QuickBooks Desktop is already installed on your server computer, this won’t overwrite any existing company data.
   1. If you want Database Server Manager and QuickBooks Desktop on your server computer, select I'll be using QuickBooks Desktop on this computer, AND I'll be storing... We strongly recommend this option.
   2. If you only want Database Server Manager on your server computer, select I will NOT be using QuickBooks Desktop...
6. Follow the rest of the onscreen instructions. When you’re ready, select Install. Windows may ask you for permission.

Feel free to read through this article for more information about setting up this server: Install QuickBooks Database Server Manager.

Windows will then ask for your permission to access the folders that hold your company files. Then, set your firewall permissions to run on your server computer.
