Samba: Working Around QuickBooks 2006 Incompatability
This HowTo addresses the incompatability that QuickBooks 2006 has with Samba-based file-sharing (the Linux de-facto standard for domain control and file sharing).
Summary: Create a new user, group and share. Access the QuickBooks files via the new user by logging onto the share with its credentials.
System:
Server: Mandriva Linux 2006. Stock configuration.
Clients: Mostly XP pro, but some Win 2000. All members of the domain.
Symptoms: After upgrading to QuickBooks Premier 2006, User A opens the QuickBooks file for Company XYZ, and gets access. User B tries to open the QuickBooks file for Company XYZ and finds that the program seems to stall for 15 to 30 seconds, then receives a non-helpful error message that may eventually lead to a web page where Intuit states they don't support Samba file sharing. If User B opens the file first, the situation is reversed.
