Verifying the QuickBooks Database Server Manager (QBDSM) installation is essential to ensure that it's properly configured to host QuickBooks company files for multi-user access.

• Navigate to the installation directory where QuickBooks Database Server Manager is installed. By default, it's usually located in "C:\Program Files\Intuit\QuickBooks" or "C:\Program Files (x86)\Intuit\QuickBooks" depending on your system architecture.
• Double-click the "QBDBSM.exe" file to launch QuickBooks Database Server Manager. In QBDSM, go to the "Scan Folders" tab. Here, you'll see a list of folders that QBDSM is currently monitoring for QuickBooks company files.
• If necessary, add additional folders containing QuickBooks company files that you want QBDSM to monitor.

• Check the status column to ensure that the company files are being monitored successfully. The status should show as "Hosting" for each company file, indicating that QBDSM is hosting the file for multi-user access.
