Quickbooks Aborting users Randomly
We have a virtual machine running Quickbooks 2012. The DBs are normally used in multi-user mode and generally runs 2 seperate .qbw (company) files (although we have 6 different .qbw files that may be opened with the latter 4 belonging strictly and accessed by the owners of the company).
Many of our users experience being aborted at random intervals with no logging of disconnections in the Windows event logs.
Anyone have an idea where to start with these diagnostics?

All of the suggestions are true Thinkpads_User except one which I'm trying to prove or disprove now.
What I'm investigating is this:
We have a Netgear 724T acting as a server switch to the two hosts in our VMWare VSA environment. Each host has 4 ports on the NIC, all Gb. On ESXi the hosts are teamed, but there is no current LAG setup on the Netgear switch. This is causing the MACs from the connected ports to be displayed as being accessible from both ports in the switches address table instead of being accessible from a LAG.
I believe this may be causing an issue but I've also been unable to setup a functioning LAG between ESXi and this Netgear switch. The ESXi host always starts to cycle connection to the vCenter Server located on another device attached to the switch.
I will also say there are VLANs on this device to separate out the production environment from the backend VSA but there's only the two. The LAGs are set to the proper VLANs

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Make sure the user closes the QBW file before closing QuickBooks (File Close Company).
Make sure the network connection to the QBW file is solid. Check it. A flaky network connection can cause this.
