In a previous blogpost, I discussed setting the correct firewall port rules for Quickbooks. In Australia the developer of Quickbooks has parted ways from the American mothership and the product has been re-branded Reckon Accounts. Who knows what is going to happen with the program over time.
Rather than port numbers I now use the executable names for the firewall exceptions. When it comes to annual upgrades, you just have to
change the file/folder names, rather than guessing port numbers or call their support desk.
I have developed a script that sets the
right options:
REM Add firewall rules for Reckon Accounts 2013
REM Explanations can be found at

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Reckon Accounts DB Service" profile=Domain,Private dir=in action=allow program="C:\Program Files (x86)\Intuit\ReckonAccounts 2013\QBLanService.exe"
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Reckon Accounts DB Manager" profile=Domain,Private dir=in action=allow program="C:\Program Files (x86)\Intuit\ReckonAccounts 2013\QBDBMgrN.exe"
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Reckon Accounts DB Manager (N)" ;profile=Domain,Private dir=in action=allow program="C:\Program Files (x86)\Intuit\ReckonAccounts 2013\QBDBMgrN.exe"
pause
Cut and paste the above into notepad and save as a command file (.cmd), then run it and the firewall rules for the server are set!
