What is prompting this question is an email from a security person monitoring our network which indicated an "open DNS resolver infection". The two Windows Server 2003 machines that constitute our one single domain (i.e. a forest of 1 domain) were cited. The email sounded like there was an...

hi all, Thank you to everyone who posted an answer to this problem. The spooler service crashing had caused me a fair amount of grief over about a 2 week period. The last thing that I had tried and what seems to have worked is that I installed the HP Windows 7 Universal Driver for PS that...

Hi, It is a 32 bit machines and I have loaded a 32 driver. Does anyone have any suggestion concerning WHICH 32 bit driver to use? The first one, PCL6 did not work for me on this particular machine. 1. HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL6. 2. HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL5...

Hi, The print spool service now seems to be more stabilized than it had been in my first post. That is because I removed the driver for the LaserJet 3005dn printer. BUT I need to get the HP3005 working from this PC... that is the problem! There are 2 network printers currently configured and...

Hello, I have been working this problem for over a week now with no success. The problem persists. There are 3 printers that are used from this PC: an HP 3005dn, a canon iR9070 and a Ricoh Aficio 700 with a Fiery network interface. They are all currently configured as network printers. In...

Thank you all 3 for responding to my question. What I found most helpful was the task scheduler suggestion. It actually worked! I tested it on a backup Server 2003. The primary one that is actually running with the valid license, I will check after the next Microsoft automatic boot after...

Hi, I am trying to have a license server program start up automatically after a system reboot on a computer running Windows 2003 Server. The provider of the license in question is a third party reseller who provided software including a program to create a service to start the license...

Hi, On a new Dell Optiplex 980 about a week ago, I had configured and tested 2 HP printers and everything seemed fine. A few days later, the print SPOOLER Service won't start. I have tried a bunch of things... I have checked SPOOL service dependencies, tried,"START" of the service many...

zeland: Thank you very much for answering. Yes, the user has the same UID and GID on both hosts. Some more info: on machine Y (the client) rpcinfo showed that portmapper, status,sgi_fam,nlockmgr were running. on X: portmapper, sgi_fam, rquotad,nfs,nlockmgr,mountd,status were running...

Hello, I am trying to do something relatively straightforward (one might think) but, so far, I can't get it working. I am trying to access a home directory for userA on RedHat machine X (kernel ver 2.4.21-4-ELsmp) from machine Y (also RedHat kernel ver: 2.4.18-smp). On machine Y, the...

NWBeaver: Thank you very much for your reply. Your answer was of course right on-I just didn't know where to look. You saved me time groping around in the dark. Thanks again!

Hi, For Outlook 2003 (with all updates)...: For some unknown reason Drafts are suddenly winding up in the Outbox (both are Personal Folders). Strangely, (though I'm glad that drafts are not automatically sent), the "drafts" in the Outbox are not sent (but this is an aside). How can this be...

If it can be, I would then delete the sub folder. That is what I am after. We are using a calendar sharing program. It is third party software (NOT Microsoft Exchange). The core calendar is the calendar of a particular user as opposed to various calendar sub folders. A particular user's...

IllogicallyLogical: Many Thanks. Right on! You hit the nail on the head (does anyone still use that expression?). I followed the link you provided and downloaded the "User Profile Hive Cleanup Service" from Microsoft (UPHClean-Setup). I needed to reboot afterwards. The system took some time...

Joey: I saw no entries under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\NETWORK even though I mapped another network drive as a test. It was an empty folder. I didn't expect these to be easy.
