If QuickBooks File Doctor is unable to run successfully on your PC, you have to manually fix the QuickBooks error code 6000 83. Follow these steps –

  • Update QuickBooks to the latest release.
  • Change settings of your firewall software so that QuickBooks files can be accessed over the internet.
  • Edit the permissions, if required, so that company files can be shared.
  • Create the Network Descriptor (.nd) file by scanning the folder storing the company file.
  • Verify that hosting mode is on only on the server computer with QuickBooks Database Server Manager For other computers, hosting should be off.
  • Under the Task Manager on the server, make sure QBDBMgrN.exe is present on the list. Check whether the value in the User Name column in the QBDBMgrN.exe row is correct.
  • Open the QuickBooks company file from the computer that is serving as the host. Copy file to your Windows desktop. Open QuickBooks Desktop. Now, open the company file copied on your desktop. If QuickBooks error 6000 83 is still appearing, company file might be damaged. You can remedy this by restoring backup company file, using QuickBooks Auto Data Recovery to recover data, or by sending your company file to Intuit’s data recovery team.
  • In case the company file gets opened without any error, you have to copy the company file back to the file’s original location. Before copying back the company file from desktop, you must rename the company file in the original location. Make sure that you have not pasted over the company file in the original location.
  • Open your QuickBooks and then open the company file. Check if QuickBooks 6000 83 error is appearing.
