by clicking on find printer displays error "The Active Directory Domain Services is currently unavailable" I am on a network home windows 8

When I use word and the products that come with it, I get the above error message.  Then the print job does not print.  Have you tried a lot of bugs, but none have worked.  Help, please.  I'm pulling my hair out.

Hi Ibilofsky,

Clear printer spooler files and activate the spooler service and check if the number fixed.

Step 1

(a) press the Windows key + R, type "Services.msc" (without the quotation marks) in the Open box and click OK.

(b) double click on "Printer Spooler" in the Services list.

(c) click on stop, and then click OK.

(d) press the Windows key + R, type %WINDIR%\system32\spool\printers in the open window and delete all the files in this folder.

Step 2

You must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps.

(a) open services and right - click the Print Spooler service, and then click Properties.

(b) under the general tab, next to startup type, make sure that automatic is selected.

(c) if the service does not, under Service status, click Start, and then click OK. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

Check the status of the issue.

It worked perfectly.

All installed printers came instantly. No need to reinstall the printer etc drivers they worked already well before the show. It was a spooler problem.

Thank you.

  • Active Directory domain services is currently unavailable; Cannot find printer; Acer Extensa 5620 laptop, Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2; Automatic update

    I can't print on network printers.  I did what was suggested previously and deleted the printers and tried to reinstall, but apparently Windows does not find the printer. I get the famous error "The Active Domain Services Directory is currently unavailable".  It started a few days after an automatic update.  My network is just a peer-to-peer network - no Exchange.

    Although I do not understand why this error, which is apparently a problem been known for months, is not a statement of knowledge on the repair, or even more revolutionary base, has not been corrected, I hope you can give me instructions on how to repair concrete.

  • Print Spooler service is not running, or active directory domain services is currently unavailable.

    Original title: my printers on WIndows 7 seemed to have disappeared...

    Printers are not listed for printing set up in Word, Notepad, Adobe, etc., when I try to add a printer, he said the local print spooler service is not running, or domain services active directory is currently unavailable.  Printers are shown on the list of devices, and when I run the troubleshooting it says that the print spooler problem is solved.  but I still can't print.  The question is on a laptop Samsung bought in store Microsoft to OakBrook, Illinois.

    It started on 8 July and I was not able to resolve since.  In reviewing the restore points, I don't see any problems, and printers are recorded in the other PC, I plugged in.

    Thanks for your help.

    Imran,

    Thank you very much for the reply onse.  I appreciate it.  I tried your suggestions and everything in the fix he said that the print spooler has been repaired, it would not print.  I ran the scanner and came without any problem.

    I did a restore of the system to a point prior to the issuance and the printers are busy, apparently something in an update has a problem.  I'll look next week and see what happens.

    Thanks again for your reply and your suggestions, I appreciate it.

  • Active Directory Domain Services unavailable problem windows 7, wireless printer; no TCP/IP ports

    Hello.  I have a HP 8600 printer that is no longer connects to my home PC.  The printer will always print whne using my laptop with no problems. The printer was working with the PC at home until about 6 days ago.   I tried a system restore and the question did not correct himself.  The error I get is related to ports TCP/IP is not available.  These errors occur when I try to add devices.  I installed and re installed the driver a couple of times and that didn't work.  I tried to add a TCP/IP port and the error message refers to the TCP/IP Wizard is not available.   I tried to add the HP 8600 via a USB cable and I get the same errors and have the same problems as described above.  I tried to add a HP 6310 to the PC via USB and I get the same errors and have the same problems as described above.    The 6310 works however with my laptop.   I tried the HP printer doctor software, but the question does not seem to be with a printer.  Issues seem to be attached to the PC and ports TCP/IP is only not available.  Can someone help me please to solve problems?

    Hello
    I am writing from mobile muy wait you so the typos and strangeness...
    That's what I see:
    -your host/laptop is connected via WiFi to your router. WiFi is usually a little more difficult to make it work, but it does not now matter now
    -your "external" network (computer laptop/probably the router to wide band) are on the 192.168.0.X network
    -your AD windows virtual machine is configured with two network adapters and the two using NAT, as the screenshot you provided.
    -to the command ipconfig for the virtual machine, it shows that a single configured both network adapter, there probably a fixed IP address and this IP address is out of all the existing networks that you got
    * VM IP: 192.192.0.1/24
    * Real external Network:192.168.0.X/24
    * Host-only workstation: 192.168.72.X/24
    * NAT workstation: 192.168.161.X/24

    With that IP to the VM must be impossible any form of communication with your host, with the exception of the RDP rule you put (and it is also conceptually wrong of course it works)

    If you really want to put your VM with a fixed IP address in the NAT network, you must configure the virtual computer with an IP address of 192.168.161.3 - 192.168.161.127 (le.1 et.2 are used by the host/VMware workstation, and le.128 to la.254 are used by the dhcp range)
