The QuickBooks Database Server Manager serves as a tool for users to set up the server for multi-user access. This utility generates a network data file (.ND) for the company file on the host computer. It's also known as Intuit's dedicated database manager tool. Without this tool, accessing the multi-user mode isn't possible for the user.
