Networking with sbs 2003
Let me try this again, typed this all out and it kicked it out with an
error.....i have a server 2003, on a domain, 10 workstations, with a given number sharing printers. All workstations are windows xp pro, mix of service pack 2, upgraded service pack 3, and built on service pack 3. On some systems the list in directory, is not an option when installing the printer, but on some can still browse or run the unc name and see the printer, 1 system, service pack 2, installed a new printer, list in directory works great, all systems can attach, on a upgraded to service pack 3 system, list in directory is not an option, can not access it from any workstation. Im also going to have to rename the systems from specific names to generic work functions, for ex workstation name, outside-sale, username quote. There are only 10 workstations, so at any given system only 9 others are attaching, so i know im not exceeding the 10 connection limit....any suggestions??? |

Hi - you have multiple identical posts, because you're using the icky web interface to the newsgroups. For this and for many other reasons, I suggest you try using a news client, such as Forte Agent, Thunderbird, or even Outlook Express, instead. It's a lot easier to do nearly everything that way. You can mark messages to be watched, filter the views so you can see replies to your posts easily, and search. The Microsoft public news server is msnews.microsoft.com and you can subscribe to as many groups as you like; no authentication is required.
