2003 Print Server - Print To File
by Guest TEK- 1 reply
- 227 views
I have a windows 2003 server that I would like to use as a print server. I want to "print to file" but do NOT want to have to choose a filename EACH TIME. I have a script that moves the file FROM the server to another location to be printed from a unix system but I need to NOT have users have to provide a filename when connecting. I'd like it to be a default filename. NOBODY ANYWHERE has any idea, even Microsoft Consultants working with us.

Named Streams
by Guest Rob- 4 replies
- 321 views
I just installed EMC's DiskExtender this weekend adn am getting many files that have named streams, which the system will not archive. I do not know much about the anmed streams, but have downloaded and ran the streams.exe form the sysinternals page and they do indeed have sstreams attached. This ustility also allows you to remove the streams, but i have no idea what the consequences are since I don't know how the streams got put in place in the first place. It seems to primarily be with graphic files and thumbs.db and .exe files. Can anyone "Educate" me as to the ups and downs of removing the streams from all the files? Thanks

Drives not mounting
by Guest News Groupie- 3 replies
- 310 views
On one of our Windows 2003 Enterprise Servers for some strange reason hard drives are not automounting and getting drive letters assigned. The internal drive (80 GB FAT32) and external drive (500 GB FAT32 USB 2.0) are visible via Disk Management, but no drive letters are assigned and even the filesystem types are blank. The drives are fine because they automount and work fine under WinXP (BartPE) and Linux (Ubuntu Live CD). Any idea why this is happening and how to resolve it?

Files are not deleted handle held by system process
by Guest Jocky Mac- 0 replies
- 165 views
We have deplaoyed our application on may servers but on only one we are seeing a strange problem. The application is written in C and uses the remove function to delete a file. The file appears to be "almost" deleted - we cannot open it, copy it or view security attributes etc but a di in the folder shows it is still there. We used process explorer to look at it and it reports that the file has on open handle from the system process. If I right click in process explorer and select "close handle" the file disappears. Any idea why the file is not removed?

Print Delay with AD Printer
by Guest cyberdude- 2 replies
- 241 views
I asked this question back in July, but received no answer. As I'm rather new to this, any help would be appreciated. I'm still having the same problem and those who are affected (especially my boss) are getting a little perturbed. Thanks in advance. For some reason which I have yet been unable to figure, a few of my users who were upgraded from NT profiles to 2003 profiles have a delay of approx 24hrs when printing to our color printer (shared out using AD). While newly installed profiles - not upgraded - have no delay. Any idea what is going on here?? Thanks, Tom -- Tom Zucker-Scharff Systems Administrator

Most recent update wounded search
by Guest Wowbagger- 0 replies
- 181 views
Searching a shared folder on the server became much slower over the weekend after the installation of the more recent MS patches (Server 2003). A search (right-click the folder, select search) that used to take 5-6 seconds now takes 2 and a half minutes. The update is the only change that was made to any machine on the network. Any ideas which patch might have broken the search and how it can be rolled back?

Win2K3R2SP1/wmiprivse consumes 50% cpu time/AllocateHeap never returns
by Guest Dominik Rappaport- 4 replies
- 299 views
Hi, I'm currently investigating a processor hug problem on one of our servers. The machine is a Windows Server 2003 R2 box with Service Pack 1. I found out, that the wmiprvse.exe process consumes constantly 50% CPU time (the machine has two processors). I followed the "Tracking Down a Processor Hog" topic in the Debugging Tools help. I attached to the process and used the runaway 3 command two times to find out the thread that consumes most of the CPU time. It was the thread with ID 2740 which corresponds to the internal number 9. ~9kb gives the following stack trace: ChildEBP RetAddr Args to Child 0197ede4 77b8d08c 00030000 00000000 000…

I have setup Perfmon counter logging started the log with a max size of 100MB and with logging every 15 seconds I've been testing the log - and when I stop it even after 5 mins or 2 hours it is always the same size 128Kb, and it always says 'duration 1:40' and most importantly how do you know the time the server had an issue (if you see a counter peaking) as I can't see any time\date reference in the log when I replay is ?
