Notwithstanding the above, users in the terminal services newsgroups have reported that you can make QuickBooks available in a TS environment, if you give the users some extra privileges. Here are the steps:

perform a normal installation of QuickBooks (in install mode!)
reboot
enter install mode again (change user /install), start QuickBooks and activate it by entering the registration code (this is a crucial step, and must be performed immediately following the reboot
go back to execute mode (change user /execute)
copy the %systemroot%\Intuit folder into each users %userprofile%\Windows folder
create a Quickbooks Users group
add your users to this group
give the group Full Control to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Intuit\QuickBooksRegistration
give the group Full Control to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.QPG
give the group Full Control to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\obja.obja
give the group Full Control to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Quickbooks.application – QB Premier 2004 only?
give the group Modify rights to the Program Files\Intuit\Quickbooks Pro folder
Also make sure that clients use short names for printers if they need to print to a redirected local printer. Quickbooks cannot handle long printer names
