Outlook Redemption and Citrix UPM VHD - outlook-redemption

We have implemented Citrix user profile management with a VHD for the Outlook OST and Search files to prevent duplicate OST files getting created.
One of our apps uses Redemption to send emails but users are reporting issues where they are getting Outbox not found errors.
Does redemption support Citrix VHD for the Outlook profile?

QB Desktop PHP integration via web-connector on system having multiple company files

QB desktop 2021 Enterprise version,
Multi-user mode not enabled,
qwc: Quickbooks Web connector
I am using Consolibyte's PHP sdk to connect QB desktop with our CMS. I am pulling some accounting reports from the QB desktop. My concern is that we have some 10 different company files (10 different clients). I need to pull the report for each client so I have prepared 10 QWC connections i.e one for each company file. My concern is that I cannot set Auto-Run for each web-connector setting (despite of having a gap of 1 hour between each entry). While installing qwc file, I have set automatically open the company file if not open("Always allow access even if Quickbooks is not running") but I keep on getting below error message when ever Auto-run tries to execute the configured app. I get the same error even if I do not open the QB company file in the QB and tries to run the same manually
Application requested to Abort
If I open up the company file in QB and then select the qwc application and select "update selected" then it works fine.
This is creating concern as I am not able to run the qwc apps automatically and have to run it manually. I will be having 50 company files and running it manually is time consuming. Can anyone please guide me as why it needs the company file to open prior running the web-connector (then what is the use of selecting ("Always allow access even if Quickbooks is not running")) and in that case automatic execution of qwc app not possible as somebody has to open the company file first. Kindly guide
Adand,
I had faced similar problem with consilbyte SDK for QBD web connector integration.
Sometime the problem is that QBD services are running in background and connected to one of the company, which we don't know where.
so in order to reset all things and try once again, you should kill following services which are running in your windows PC. and then start all company sync in web connector.
This should solve your problem. if not then share the web connector log file. so i can investigate and provide solution.
additionally you should try these solutions specific to Web Connector https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/help-article/open-programs/fix-common-web-connector-errors-quickbooks-desktop/L9slolvg0_US_en_US
I have found the solution for problem. Issue was that when we have multiple company files and if we want QWC to open up the right company file automatically then we have to set the company file path for each QWC user in the QB table (Consolibyte PHP SDK) "quickbooks_user"
UPDATE quickbooks_user SET qb_company_file = 'C:\path\to\your\file.QBW' WHERE qb_username = 'your-web-connector-username'
I have found this answer through below stackoverflow threads
Error in web connector when quickbooks not running
How to set .QBW file path for response in Authenticate for Quickbooks Web Connector?
and from Wiki pages by Keith/Consolibyte:
http://wiki.consolibyte.com/wiki/doku.php/quickbooks_integration_php_consolibyte#how_can_i_tell_the_web_connector_to_connect_to_quickbooks_even_if_quickbooks_is_not_open
I have tried this and it works. QB company file is opened up in background by QWC, data pulled and then company file is closed by QWC. I am hopeful that this inbuilt solution will allow me to automate 50+ QWC executions.

Deploying outlook add-in as an admin removes iOS support

I have a simple task-pane Outlook add-in. When I install it manually (uploading the manifest file) to one account, it works well : on Outlook Desktop, Outlook online, OWA, and the iOS Outlook app.
When I install it to the whole organization through the Microsoft Exchange Admin Center (Organization --> Add-ins --> Add), two stranges behaviors occur :
1) It is immediately deployed to all accounts ; except for the administrator himself (~3 hours of delay before it is deployed !). Why ?
2) Once deployed, the Outlook iOS app support disappears, whereas the uploaded manifest is the exact same file. Desktop, Web, and OWA apps works well. The add-in indeed appears in the "Parameters > Manage add-ins > My add-ins" of each user.
I can't find or explain this problem. Did anyone find a solution or an explanation ?
The delay can actually affect all users. We cache installed add-ins server side for performance improvements.
In terms of the add-in on ios, the scenario of admin installing add-in to mobile is currently not supported. This is in our backlog, and we'll be getting to this soon.

How to access QuickBooks company file with QuickBooks Integrated Application in QuickBooks Server mode installation?

I have installed QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions 14.0 R3 (non licensed Server version) in our Server. Installed with option “I will NOT be using QuickBooks on this computer. I will be storing our company file here so it can be shared over our network. (A license is not required for this option)”.
QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions 14.0 R3 installed in other computers in our network uses the QuickBooks company file.
Our QuickBooks Integrated Application
Microsoft Dot Net WPF windows application that uses QuickBooks SDK 13.0.
Uses QBFC to connect QuickBooks Company file and pull and push data.
Our Integrated Application acts as a service which will listen for incoming request (from another Client application) and respond to the request (fetch/ push data to QuickBooks company file).
Our QuickBooks Integrated application works fine with full installation of QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions 14.0 R3. I’m aware that any Integrated Application should be registered with the company file and should get the access granted to read/ write data to QuickBooks company file. But, In QuickBooks Server mode installation, I was unable to register or connect to QuickBooks company file.
Is it NOT possible to connect to the company file from Integrated Application without installing full QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions in Server computer?, which we use only to share the QuickBooks Company file over our network and don’t use QuickBooks Application.
Doesn’t QuickBooks Database Server Manager will help the Integrated Applications to connect to the QuickBooks Company file? If NOT, Is there a workaround to use the Integrated Application with QuickBooks Company file without installing the full QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions?
Thanks in advance.
Is it NOT possible to connect to the company file from Integrated Application without installing full QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions in Server computer?,
You must have the full version of QuickBooks installed on the computer running the integrated application.
Doesn’t QuickBooks Database Server Manager will help the Integrated Applications to connect to the QuickBooks Company file?
No. QuickBooks Database Server Manager does absolutely nothing related to integrated applications.
If NOT, Is there a workaround to use the Integrated Application with QuickBooks Company file without installing the full QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions?
No.
Either run the integrated app on another computer that has the full-blown QuickBooks install on it, or install the full QuickBooks app wherever your integrated app is.
Remember that QuickBooks licensing is not per-computer. It is per-concurrent-user-of-a-given-QuickBooks-company-database.
So, you can have QuickBooks installed on 1,000 computers even if you only have a 5-user license. You just can't have more than 5 concurrent users of any given QuickBooks company file.

Must your 3rd party app be signed to integrate with Quickbooks?

On my development machine (which has the Quickbooks SDK installed) I can connect and interact with QB just fine; the standard workflow of granting access to the external app from w/i QB works. However, on my production machine I get various and sundry errors:
Can't start QB.
Can't start QB because it's already running.
Can't open more than one company file.
The dev docs lead you to believe that the app must be signed while elsewhere I've found examples where you could run an un-signed example app. So what is it? If signing isn't strictly required then any clues as to why I can't get this to work?
Production Machine
QuickBooks Pro 2011 Release R9P (US)
Our installed, OOB, Silverlight app
Dev Machine
Quickbooks Premier Contractor Edition 2010 Release R13P (US)
Silverlight 4 using COM/C# to connect to QB
Quickbooks SDK 11.0
As I've said, the dev machine works as it should. On the production machine we've tried every combo of not having QB open, having it open but no client file open, having it open and a client file open and we'll get one error or another right at the point we're trying to open a connection. Also, our app never shows up in the integrated applications settings page (but it does show up on the dev machine's QB). We've tried both admin and non admin.
No, you DO NOT need to sign your apps.
You didn't provide anywhere near enough information for us to really give you a solution.
Did you check your SDK logs?
What version/year/edition/country of QuickBooks?
Are you building for the Web Connector, or using C#, or VB .NET, or...?
If you're using the Web Connector, what do your Web Connector logs look like?
Are you logged in as the QuickBooks admin user?
Is QuickBooks already running?
Is there another QuickBooks company file already open?
Did you revoke permission from the integrated application?
If you expect answers, you have to post some details.
It's a Silverlight app with full trust. It looks as though it was something with SL itself. Once we upgraded to SL5 it worked fine.

What are the alternatives for file upload on ios safari?

I have a mobile web app/site and I would like the users to upload a word document to our site.
As safari on the iPhone is not able to upload files what are the alternatives?
I have seen http://code.google.com/p/iphone-photo-picker/ however this is not photograph.
Is it documented anywhere that the Dropbox API, iCloud API or another API would allow selection a file from a user to copy to our servers?
Alternately is there another way for our iPhone users using safari?
No, iPhone does not offer input type file on it's browser (except for images or videos).
What i do is, have users to send file(s) via email to site and download it programmatically on the server side and assign it to user's account either according to email address or some sort of password in the email.
Investigation has shown that the drop box API for the user so select a via on the webpage using OAuth could be an option in the future.
However the dropbox api documentation at the time of writing says:
Web applications using the Dropbox API are currently not officially
supported.
iCloud API is in beta and only available to members of the iOS and Mac Developer Programs so I am unable to review it's possibilities.
Update: I have now found this site: http://filepicker.io that handles uploads from facebook and dropbox.
