+QBCFMonitorService not running on this computer.

When I run the QuickBooks Database Server Manager is shows that +QBCFMonitorService not running on this computer.

In the services window +QBCFMonitorService is showing running.

Only the file in on the server

Server 2012

The program is installed on multiple windows 10 PC's with a drive to the file maped.

I can open the file in single user mode but when switching to multi user mode I get error code H202

You can and should start the service manually. That will get you and your users running. We have done that.

Once done, look at the Service Properties.  The logon user should be Local Account not a QB user. That will all the service to start when the Server restarts. We have had to do this as well.

By all means check with Intuit Support.
Before contacting QB support, I'd suggest running through a quick check of the service properties.  My experience over many years of supporting clients using QB is that their support is lacklustre, take a very long time and often provide solutions that are directly opposed to MS best-practices and security common-sense.  So, I'd use them as an absolute last resort, but that's my opinion.

Your QBFCMonitorService:  John is definitely correct, manually restart this service to ensure it's running or that it generates an error which can help us diagnose this issue.  Check the service properties.  It should be set with Startup Type: Automatic and should Log On with "Local System Account" with the "Allow service to interact..." box UNchecked.  Next, ensure that your Recovery options are set to First failure: Restart, Second failure: Restart, Subsequent failures: Take No Action (because you need to diagnose the issue instead of a constant restart loop).  QBCFMonitor often crashes on server systems but an automatic restart usually solves the issue without anyone noticing.

Verify those settings and let us know if you're still having problems.  Also, is your server a DC by chance? Running DHCP?
Did you get your 10 computers with QuickBooks running?

John and Asif Bacchus I followed your steps, but still have the issue.

Quick data manager is installed on a file server in domain environment.
Try the following; Uninstall the server manager, restart the server, install the server manager from your current QB download file, make sure the service is running and scan the file again.

The Server Manager must be the same version or newer than the version of QuickBooks (including Enterprise if running that)

I assume you are running Enterprise since you have 10 installs
