If the only domain controller was replaced by not having
two domain controllers temporarily, then you have defined
a new domain, even if it has the same old name.
If there are no users when you examine the AD Users and
Computers of the domain, then there are no domain user
accounts (as when an old domain is trashed and then rebuilt).
In that case you need to redefine what is needed, and likely
should disjoin/rejoin the client machines.

Have you tried defining a local user account that is a local
admin (other than the Administrator) to see if it can run the
Quickbooks app ? This narrows the issue, since any admin
(whether local account of via domain group membership in
local Administrators) should be treated the same by a well
behaved app. And, BTW, Quickbooks is not a well-behaved
app but rather seems to be one of those that believes that
taking a DOSish downlevel WinOS app and installing it
in an uplevel Windows is all that should be needed on the
part of the app developers.
