Re: Quickbooks getting slower and slower

[ANDREW F OFALT]

Well, we have standalone clients, so its not the server.
On a couple of machines I worked on reinstalling .NET 1, 1.1,2,3,3.5 seemed to 
fix "a" quickbooks problem.
On others I have noticed that Quickbooks sometimes updated or installed some 
.NET software.
On others I noticed that there are .NET updates that have not installed, but 
quickbooks runs ok.
So I am not sure it is .NET, but suspecting it *might* have something to do 
with some of the slowness and popups we are seeing on some computers.

So I am thinking that Quickbooks has some .NET code in it.  Maybe, but, not a 
lot of time has been spent on Quickbooks.

Just looking for verification, so I threw it out there.

Found out that Intuit remotely moved Quickbooks from the server (wish I had
known this earlier, lol) to a user's PC in hopes of fixing the problem. 
That's the Database Service wasn't running on the server.  However, it
wasn't performing any better on the user's workstation either.  Doing the
same tasks in a different Quickbooks file such as the sample file, results
in things working as fast as expected.  Only when using the company file do
things get slow...  So now we're waiting on a response from Intuit's
datamanagement team.  Fun.

Thanks for the tips.

The "database service" definitely needs to be running.  Even though they
tout they have an "enterprise version" it really isn't a true database
server. So stuff still works but really slow when the "database service"
isn't running.

Re: Quickbooks getting slower and slower

[jesse-r...@wi.rr.com]

Found out that Intuit remotely moved Quickbooks from the server (wish I had
known this earlier, lol) to a user's PC in hopes of fixing the problem. 
That's the Database Service wasn't running on the server.  However, it
wasn't performing any better on the user's workstation either.  Doing the
same tasks in a different Quickbooks file such as the sample file, results
in things working as fast as expected.  Only when using the company file do
things get slow...  So now we're waiting on a response from Intuit's
datamanagement team.  Fun.

Thanks for the tips.

The "database service" definitely needs to be running.  Even though they
tout they have an "enterprise version" it really isn't a true database
server. So stuff still works but really slow when the "database service"
isn't running.

RE: Quickbooks getting slower and slower

[Jimmy Tran]

Try copying the company files to the local machine where the User that
has trouble is and open the company and give it a shot.  Does it run
slow?

Have you compress the DB?  I think there is an option to clean it up or
something along those lines.

I completely agree with David, QB will run slower and slower the larger
the company file gets.

Have a customer with an SBS2011 server.   Server is basically brand new

weeks, their Quickbooks (Enterprise 12.0) has been getting slower and
slower when saving invoices and work orders, etc.  Initially it would

taking 2 minutes, or 5 minutes, and now 10 minutes just to save a single
invoice or work order.  Prior to 3 weeks ago, everything was fast as can

Quickbooks support hasn't been too helpful -- they keep pointing at the
server itself, but Task Manager and Resource Monitor don't show any
areas
of bottlenecking (CPU, memory, disk, etc.).  Users also say it doesn't
matter if only ONE person is in the office, and using Quickbooks, they
still get the slowness problems... So it's not load related either.

I'm guessing right now there's something corrupt wiht the database maybe
or
a problem with Quickbooks, but this is just a wild guess at this time.

Thoughts?

Re: Deploying Printers in Group Policy not working for non-admins

[Matthew W. Ross]

Here are some more oddities for this lab:

1) The printers are an HP Laserjet 4250 and a HP Color Laserjet 4700. We have 
other labs with the same model printers deployed from the same print server and 
this problem does not exist with them.
2) The printers show up if I log in as an administrator... but if I immediately 
log off, and log in as a generic student account, the printers are no longer 
there. Shouldn't the printers be installed already?

Re: Quickbooks getting slower and slower

[jesse-r...@wi.rr.com]

I just checked, and the QuickbooksDB22 service (Description listed as
"Quickbooks Database Service" is set for Disabled. The "Logon As" account
for that service is .\QBDataServiceUser22... Strange that it's disabled,
especially since you said your issues went away after it was running.  I
might call Intuit and see if that service is supposed to be running.  ??

Aside from that, I can't find anything wrong on the service except messages
once per day related to the USB backup drive Seagate GoFlex Desk Adapter
3.0.  The event log shows "The driver detected a controller error on
\device\harddisk2\dr2" nearly every other day at 7am (no idea the
significance of 7am since my backups run at Noon and 11pm to that drive). 
I'm doubting this is related to the slowness issue with Quickbooks however
since those errors go back longer than when users started reporting
slowness with Quickbooks.  I may still run a chkdsk /r on the server
anyways... ?

The "enterprise version" is not true client server (thats why you still
need to have a share with wide open permissions to the company files) so
make sure networking is solid.

I had one case where the "database service" didn't start on the server and
the users complained about slowness.

How big is the company file?

Re: Quickbooks getting slower and slower

[Hank .]

The "enterprise version" is not true client server (thats why you still
need to have a share with wide open permissions to the company files) so
make sure networking is solid.

I had one case where the "database service" didn't start on the server and
the users complained about slowness.

How big is the company file?

My experience with Quickbooks is what you state in your subject line is by

Have a customer with an SBS2011 server.   Server is basically brand new
(good specs).  For the last 4 months, no issues.  Then over the last 3 weeks, 
their Quickbooks (Enterprise 12.0) has been getting slower and slower when 
saving invoices and work orders, etc.  Initially it would start taking 2 
minutes, or 5 minutes, and now 10 minutes just to save a single invoice or work 
order.  Prior to 3 weeks ago, everything was fast as can be.

Quickbooks support hasn't been too helpful -- they keep pointing at the server 
itself, but Task Manager and Resource Monitor don't show any areas of 
bottlenecking (CPU, memory, disk, etc.).  Users also say it doesn't matter if 
only ONE person is in the office, and using Quickbooks, they still get the 
slowness problems... So it's not load related either.

I'm guessing right now there's something corrupt wiht the database maybe or a 
problem with Quickbooks, but this is just a wild guess at this time.

Re: Deploying Printers in Group Policy not working for non-admins

[Christopher Bodnar]

Too funny, I was just about to type up the exact same question. I ran into 
this same scenario last night. The only thing that I found different was 
between 2 different printers. In my case the printers are:

Canon iR3245
HP Officejet 8600

So I deployed the iR3245 first via GPO using the Print Management method 
and none of the users received the mapping. But I could map the printer 
manually. So I finally decided to test using the 2nd printer, using the 
same method and the OfficeJet mapped successfully. I then went and 
published the iR3245 via GPO preferences, and that worked.  The only thing 
I can think of is that for some reason its a driver issue, but I can't 
think of what that would be.

Not sure if this is relavent, but this is a ThinClient environment. All 
Hyper-V hosts with RDS and clients are Wyse C10LE.  All servers are 
Windows 2008 R2.

Subject:Deploying Printers in Group Policy not working for 
non-admins



Good Afternoon.

I'm deploying printers using Group Policy. We have Windows Server 20008 R2 
Domain controllers and Windows 7 desktops. I have a new lab that I wanted 
to deploy the network printers. In this one lab, for some reason, 
Administrators see the printers. Non-admins do not.

I am using the Print Management GUI to deploy the printers. I have them 
deployed via a Group Policy that is assigned to all computers in an OU, 
not users. The printers are being setup as TCP/IP printers and the drivers 
are being distributed by the print server.

Now... why is this working in all of my labs that I have setup but this 
one? And why only Admins? Has anybody else run into this problem?

I would expect that someone is going to dig up another method to attack

Yes, it is patched against the specific exploit vectors that have
currently been discussed.

 

It is unclear whether or not other as-yet-too-difficult-to-pursue
