When I plan to access my company file, I’m experiencing QuickBooks Error H505. This is often a really common error, which is making me more annoying and frustrating. When this error code happens, I’m unable to access my company file, which may be obtained on another computing system . Once I see this error code, I’m very shocked. Thanks to the occurrence of this error code, I’m unable to finish my accounting tasks. I’m trying to return out from this error code, but I’m failing to unravel this error code. Could anyone share the simplest ways to unravel QuickBooks error H505?

Solution 1: Make a new Company File Folder
First, generate a ‘Replacement folder’ on the hosting computer. Now share the original folder and Windows access permissions to share the company files
If you do not have access to the digital computer then, Contact a skilled IT professional
In the new folder, Copy .qbw file in multi-user mode again
You can now open the Company file.
Solution 2: Open Network Ports that QuickBooks uses to transmit knowledge
Configure Firewall settings
Go to the Windows Firewall Settings, and right-click on Windows Option to click on the instrument panel. Now type ‘Firewall’ in the search bar, and press Enter. Click Windows Firewall and press Advanced Settings option.
Go to the left and right-click ‘Outbound Rules,’ and select ‘New Rule.’
Press on Ports and press Next
Click TCP, and in the specific local ports enter the following ports:
For QuickBooks Desktop 2018- 8019,56728,55378-55382
QuickBooks Desktop 2017-8019,56727,55373-55377
For QuickBooks Desktop 2016-8019,56726,55368-55372
For QuickBooks Desktop 2015-8019,56725,55363-55367
Click Next and select ‘Allow the Connection’ option
Click Next to type-in name in the name field, and press Finish
Repeat steps 1-5 for the inbound rules
Now go to the multi-user mode again and open QuickBooks
Turn-on Network Discovery
First, Open the control panel, and press on System and Security
Press on Windows Firewall
In the left pane, go to Click permit associate app/feature on the Windows Firewall (If you are on Windows server 2012)
Press Modification option
Select Network Discovery, and Press OK
Know the name of your server
Open the RUN command, and press on the Windows Key + R. Type the CMD and click Enter
Enter config/all, and press Enter
In the IP Configuration section, look for the ‘Host Name.’
You can see the server name on the right
Now save and move to the next step
Solution 3: Check hosting and services
Verify hosting
Open QuickBooks on every workstation (this is not the server or the hosting computer)
Next select File and press Utilities
If you see Host Multi-user access on the list, then this computer is not hosting the Company file
If you see Host Multi-user access at the workstation, then you can move onto the next computer. Here do not change anything.
In case you see ‘Stop Hosting the Multi-user Access,’ then press on that option
On each computer, repeat steps 1-3
Verify QuickBooks Services
First, bring up the RUN box, and press Windows Key+ R
Type MSC and click Enter. Next, you can search Services.msc in the Windows search bar
In the services window, you need to scroll down and search the QuickBooksDBXX service
Next, double-click the option QuickBooksDBXX service and ensure that the startup kind is ready to be Automatic and then Repair Standing is running or started
Click the Recovery tab
If you see a failure, then you can mechanically restart QuickBooksDBXX service. Do the same thing for the second and any subsequent failures
To save changes press OK
Now for the QBCFMonitorService, you need to repeat steps above provided steps 1-6
Next, Open QuickBooks in a multi-user mode on each effected digital computer
If you face the problem even after this, then look to form a QuickBooksDBXX service that is a member of the administrator cluster and has acceptable permissions.
