invalid wildcard sequence

[dave-]

I installed QuickBooks 2009 Pro on a remote Windows 2008 server. However, when I launched QuickBooks I got a dialog box that said the "Internet Security Levels are set too High."

 

I phoned QuickBooks but they said they do not support QuickBooks Pro running on a Remote Desktop Connection. They said they did not know whether Pro or Premier would work on a terminal server or not.

 

QuickBooks would not tell me whether their "Pro" version would work remotely or not. They say they have only had only tested their $3,000.00 "enterprise" version of on a remote connection.

 

Perhaps you can help me solve my QuickBooks installation problem.

 

The dialog box that said the "Internet Security Levels are set too High." The content from "intu-help-qb2://" is being blocked by Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Settings.

 

Windows allowed me to add the site if I trusted it. However, when I tried to do that windows said that "intu-help-qb2://" was an "invalid wildcard sequence."

 

Windows allows me to change that site before adding it but I do not know what the correct wildcard sequence would be. Do you? TIA dave-

[imconfused]

i am receiving the same error with the url "intu-help-qb2://" but i am using server 2003 and it happens both remotely and locally. any ideas??? :confused:

You can avoid this error message if you disable Internet Explorer Enhanced Security.

 

However, I am not familiar enough with Windows Server to know the implications of disabling IE Enhanced Security so I have not done that. Instead, I would prefer to fix the problem.

 

I suspect the "intu-help-qb2://" error can be easily corrected by entering the correct string.

 

I just do not know what that string is. I tried "intu-help-qb2://*" but I do not know what I am doing, I am just guessing, and it did not work.
