ne&cid=181 So YES this is possible, but a lot of it will depend on what the QB Server requirements are. The other advantage is that with their support for M.2 SSD's, there are multiple ways that can help improve the performance of your VM (Caching, QTier, etc.) This article give you an idea of how you can layer the storage w/SSD's to maximize performance. I would probably recommend going to a bigger NAS to handle something like that (depending on how big the VM's need to be, size of data, etc.) You might want to look at something in the TVS-x73 (new AMD model) or TVS-x82 families that support beefier Quad-Core processors and larger memory footprints (up to 64GB). However, now you are potentially talking about 3 different VM's running on the NAS on top of the standard NAS functions.

The Windows Server "vm" would be storing the QB data file. This could be done on a QNAP, as you can run Windows Server inside of Virtualization Station just the same as running a Windows Desktop client. So based on what they are saying, it sounds like you need a Windows Server running their DB Server Manager application for the QB Desktop clients to point to. Am I missing something here and this won't work like I'm thinking it should? We'd also run a VPN server on the QNAP, so the second user could access the datafile just by connecting to the VPN. My thought was we could simulate this by setting up a virtual desktop on the QNAP which would be one users primary machine and can also run QB and act as the host. But in the normal setup everyone is sitting in the same office and on the same LAN.

If I understand the QB documentation the way you would normally do that is just install QB Pro on two machines and setup one of them that acts as a host and you leave that machine running all the time, and then the other desktop can run QB and access the company datafile without worry about conflicts and datafile corruption. I want multiuser mode for Quickbooks so that two people, each with a copy of Quickbooks installed on their machine, can access the QB datafile at the same time. its simulates a regular pc.i think you are mixing this up with terminal sevices (or simmilar) I certainly could be mixing something up since I'm not even sure I understand your question. The plan is to have two NAS in different locations syncing with each other.ĭolbyman wrote:why multi user ?. As far as hardware goes, what would be your recommendation for a "beefier" model that would be used as a persons primary desktop as well as a file server and VPN server? The desktop needs are fairly minimal office type things (browsing, Office, QB). So I assume a virtual desktop using the VS with QB Pro and multi-user access turned on would be sufficient for someone else to access QB Pro on their own local machine if we have a VPN setup (probably more of a QB expert question than a NAS question). There is a separate guide for server installs, but that seems more complicated and not as supported.
My understanding is that the QuickBooks recommended setup for multi-user support just wants it installed one one computer that is always on and turn on the host multi-user access function. She's worked for years in a virtual desktop system (XenDesk) and prefers that over working on local hardware.
Well the plan was to setup one user with a virtual desktop on the NAS that would be her primary workstation. Just trying to get an idea if what we want to do is even possible before going too far down the rabbit hole. But it isn't clear to me if the people who were having trouble were just hosting the data file on the NAS, and QuickBooks itself was installed on a Windows PC, or if they were using something like a QNAP with Virtualization Station and trying to install it on a virtualized server. We were already planning on getting a QNAP NAS, most likely the TS-451+ and I'm trying to see if it would be possible to install QuickBooks directly on the server setup for Multiuser access that would let each user access it remotely (with a VPN?) I've done some reading and it looks like people have had trouble with NAS access and QuickBooks, especially since Intuit made changes to how the multi-user access works in 2015.
Right now we have one person using an older version of QuickBooks Pro Desktop version, but we'd like to be able to have two people access it from different locations. Right now we don't really have any active shared resources and work using a combination of emails and things like Dropbox. Small company with users all working out of their home. I'm in way over my head at the moment and it's likely I'm not even posting in the right subforum. First off I want to apologize for a very newbie type question.
