    SUS update problem with W2K clients

    Thanks for the advice - I've had a bit of a further look at the even logs and yes it does seem to be something to do with the XML Parser. This update seems to be failing on these machines (through SUS) and it reschedules itself for the next night - where is fails again (see even log entry...

    SUS update problem with W2K clients

    Seem to be having a problem with a few of my client PC's in that the users complain that every morning they come in and log in as normal but then the computer immiediately says that an update has been applied and needs to reboot without giving the user the option to stop it. The user after the...

    The printer that just keeps on printing.....

    I have come across this several times before and it's often the printer remembering all it's old jobs and printing them out again and again. The usual way of solving this I have found is to disable 'bi-directional printing' in the printer config panel. I believe this is a known problem with HP...

    How do I remove the SP2 installation file XP auto downloaded?

    I have an XP home machine which has automatically downloaded the SP2 installation file and is now waiting for me to install the update. However, for the moment I don't want to install it on this PC because of all the issues (like BSoDs!) that are being reported. Is there a way to remove this...

    HP2210 not powering off when pressing the power button

    Thanks for the replies. Glohamar - no I don't have any third part apps installed to control power or the backlight. The reset (or a hard reset) also doesn't seem to make a difference. Chriseubank - Errr daft question... but you say it's expected behavoir - why?

    HP2210 not powering off when pressing the power button

    I have an IPAQ 2210 with Pocket PC 2003 Build version 4.20.0 (14503). The problem I am having is that when I press the power button to switch it off all it does is dim the screen (as if the brightness has been set to 0). In addition to this when I next come to turn it on, it comes on but I can...

    spooler service terminating

    I had this problem on one of my Windows 2000 SP4 servers. The problem was eminating from an HP2500c which for some weird reason was keeping every print job that was being sent ot it (even though the setting was off). Talked to HP regarding the matter and they said this is sometimes down to a...

    Windows Update Ceased to Work

    I've had a similar problem on mine - the way I fixed it was to delete all the cookies and the contents of the temporary internet files (manually delete everything by going to the folder). Also might be worth checking whether you have a WUTemp folder - if so, send the contents to the recycle bin...

    Network port problems. Virus?!?

    An even easier way of finding which machine is banging out to the port is to shut each machine down one by one. Check the port each time you shut a machine down and when it stops you more than likely have your culprit.

    Exchange services keep stopping!

    Finally after trying a few things suggested by Sophos it seems to be that there is a problem with the 'Puremessage' anti-virus/spam program. Sophos are currently working on a patch for it but in the meantime I have been advised to disable my VSAPI setting in the registry. Having done this, the...

    Exchange services keep stopping!

    Thanks for the reply seem to have nailed it down to being the Sophos puremessage program. Disabled the service and rebooted the server and it seems to be behaving. Sophos aren't sure what in Puremessage is causing the problem but say is maybe the VSAPI in exchange which may be interfering - any...

    Exchange services keep stopping!

    Running Exchange 2000 on W2K server. Had an error message saying that the cidaemon.exe had a reference memory address error. After this (even after a reboot) Exchange seems to be falling over repeatedly with errors in the event log saying that the following services are being unexpectedly...

    Exchange M partition and the Servers C partiton free space

    Thanks for the help - I've already had the mdbdata problem previously so already moved that one to a larger partition, seemed to go quite smoothly too.

    Exchange M partition and the Servers C partiton free space

    Thanks Zelandakh - I'll keep my hands (and my boss') off it in furture... So just to confirm it's not going to fall over if it gets full will it? I guess what I'm asking is just what partition does all the email get saved to!

    Exchange M partition and the Servers C partiton free space

    Pretty much a newbie muddling my way through this so please bear with me! Setup an exchange2k server which seems to work ok really. However I've noticed that the free space on the exchange M: Partition and the free space on C: on the Windows 2000 server seem to be exactly the same. Is this a...
