FQDN don't work with quickbooks, Quickbooks server been joined to the domain "domain.local", quickbooks server name set to quickbooks "Quickbooks database managment server".
from nslookup, I get replay for both quickbooks and quickbooks.domain.local. but from client when I connect to quickbooks server I can not change to "single user name".
I have added host recode under client C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc\hosts" file, if i set it to below setting, user can change to single user mode:
quickbooks 10.x.x.x
BUT if i set it to FQDN can't, it will give error and advise to change to "host multi user mode", this is where that client hold the file.
quickbooks.domain.local 10.x.x.x

not yet,
I have reinstalled "Quickbooks database management server", while server was part of domain, I coudn't start QuickbooksDB21 service, I was getter error "the service did not start due to a logon failure" error 1069, then under services double clicked on QuickbooksDB21 service and from LogOn tab changed username from QBDataServiceUser21 to domain administrator name, and started the service, now I can't change to milti mode, nighter through using only computer name from host file or domain name.
