Hey blinix,

I've had this problem for years. Different machines, different servers, environments where I'd almost ONLY setup QuickBooks, even different jobs. I've NEVER been able to solve this. I upgraded from Premier to Enterprise thinking the Ent-level networking would be superior and solve this issue; it does not.

So I made a couple of modifications: 

1. I removed the part of the script that stops the service. So I have it only restarting the service.

2. I run it once per hour, not once per day. Why? Because why not. I'm already using task scheduler to restart the server (which is dedicated) every day at 3AM. Even then, my team will be (often) networking without issue in the morning, but we'd already be failing multi-user or getting error messages before lunch.

This solved the issue. I've been running it this way for a few weeks without issue.

Genuinely appreciate you posting this. This has been a game changer for me.
