Server 2003 R2 with installed VendPrint, clients servers randomly drop their printer.

Original title: Server 2003 R2, VendPrint and 7 guests

Here at the College, I work for, in our libraries, we have Windows 7 open lab stations.  To print, there is Server 2003 R2 servers with VendPrint installed, pay and control flow.  We are having a problem with clients to randomly fall their printer.

The printers are installed with the following script:
"rundll32 printui.dll PrintUIEntry /ga /n\\ [server name] \Printer.
start/wait sc stop spooler
start/wait sc start spooler.

The mode of operation of the VendPrint is a Microsoft share for the virtual printer, then the boss free labour through payment, how it is a local printing to the printer via the USB port.

(1) anyone have an idea why this might be?  What other information would you like all need?
(2) someone think the upgrade to Server 2008 would be useful?  What happened to Windows 7, which has the limit of 10 connections even that XP doesn't?

Thanks for all the ideas.

    Hi Mordi26:

    This could be because windows server 2003 is not updated with the latest version of the Terminal Server client. With terminal services client 6.0 update... It should solve the problem. Here is the link to download:

  • new PowerEdge: windows server 2003 standard r2 install problem

    Hi all

    so I started with this procedure

    1. Insert the Dell Systems Build and Update Utility CD or the Dell and Documentation DVD systems management tools in the CD player.
    2. Reboot your system and boot from the CD/DVD.
    3. Select Dell Systems Build and Update Utility to go to the Dell Systems Build and Update Utility Home screen.
    4. Click the server operating system Installation.
    5. Follow the instructions step by step to set up your hardware and to install your operating system.

    Now in the select list of Os, I chose windows server 2003 sp2. When I come to the part where it asks for my o/s drives, I get a "invalid" drive, and my windows install dvd is ejected.

    I use our msdn 2939.3 disc titled "Windows Server 2003 R2, Standard Edition with Service Pack 2.

    I tried our other msdn discs, but they no longer work.

    so I'm stuck.

    All I need is to put in place the RAID-1 and windows server 2003.

    Anyone who is willing to light on that?


  • Problem with installing Essbase Client 9.2.1

    I want to install Essbase on a server that has a version of Essbase installed on it before. Everything seemed to be uninstalled before the start of this new facility in 9.2.1.

    I installed Shared Services and the Essbase server without any problems.

    When I tried to install the Essbase Client, an error occurs during installation. The error reads as follows:

    "Cannot install Essbase Client 9.2.1.0 on Suite Single-Installer: installed product has the latest version."

    I see that no indication of the Essbase Client installed on the server with the exception of one of the possibilities. Under the control panel > Add/Remove Programs dialog box, it is a "program" named "Documentation of analytical Services 9.3.0.1 Hyperion System 9 BI +".

    However, when I go to uninstall this 'program', I get an error message. It reads:

    "Unable to locate the installation log"D:\Hyperion\AnalyticServices\Essdocs.isu"

    I don't know what I can do to get the Essbase Client to install and get this "program" to uninstall. Any ideas?

    Hello

    If you reinstall, try this:
    -uninstall program hyperion
    -remove all the way environment hyperion
    -Delete the file vpd.properties (windows directory)
    -Delete the folder hyperion
    -Reinstall

  • Tecra A10 - 12O: installing the driver network card in Windows Server 2003 R2 Std

    Hello

    I received 6 laptop Tecra A10 - 12O, and we need to install Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition with SP2 in all these six machines. Windows Server 2003 has been installed perfectly, but now we have only the network LAN card to work but we are unable to install its driver. When I installed Windows XP from the supplied DVD for Toshiba, it says Intel 82567V Gigabit network adapter. I tried to download the drivers for this adatpor of drivers Toshiba, Intel Web site, but it will not install in Windows Server 2003. I also tried manually force to choose and install a driver from the list, I choose that it will install but shows yellow question mark in Device Manager means that it does not work with this driver.

    I also tried the same Intel 82567V drivers from some sites non-Toshiba, of these models using the same network card, but is not truck drivers at all.

    I understand these laptop computers does not support Windows Server 2003, but these were ordered to be used as servers with Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition and I am required to make the Installer only with activated and installed network adapter.

    I try last week and exhausted all means to get the installed network adapter driver, but all have failed. Can someone please help with this? All support will be highly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hey Buddy

    If I m not wrong Windows Server 2003 uses the same drivers as Win XP and I guess that it s driver problem not a LAN, but perhaps also the problem of Windows Server 2003 installed.

    You are right; the LAN chip seems to be Intel 82567V and the LAN driver downloaded from Intel page should work 100%.

    In your case, I would recommend installing the chipset driver.
    Remove the LAN card from Device Manager, then restart the laptop.
    Then go back to Device Manager and update driver in pointing devices Manager to the place where the driver downloaded LAN was stored on the HARD drive.

  • OptiPlex 360 drivers for Server 2003

    I have an Optiplex 360 that is running Windows Server 2003 and the video card was not all the drivers loaded for him. I think it's the installed Intel graphic card, 4 I see on this PC, but I have been unable to find a suitable driver for it. I tried to download the drivers from support, but none of them work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    With older drivers, there may be issues certificate which means that you will have to roll the return date / time and or install the driver in compatibility mode.  Drivers, DirectX and video and Audio services are DISABLED BY DEFAULT in Server 2003.   I installed 2003 server on my 360 and it worked very well, including drivers. But this is not cookie cutter out of the box.  You must enable the appropriate services before installing the drivers.  Drivers intel aren't addin video card drivers AND Chipset Drivers MUST BE INSTALLED first before anything. The forum is not a medium step by step for an end of an operating system on an unsupported platform.  Even microsoft paid a pension will not learn how to install the server on servers not drivers.

  • Passing of TMS physical server in VM with external SQL Server

    What we have:

    13.2 physical TMS with TMSPE running on the Windows Server 2003 Enterprise with SQL server 2005.

    Application of TMS, tmsng, and TMSPE all located on the same server.

    What we wanted to do:

    Move the 13.2 TMS with TMSPE to 2008 r2 VM with tmsng located on the separate server from SQL 2008 VM (external).

    First attempt; the physcial and TMS VM servers with the same host name, the different IP addresses.

    (Physical server removed from the field after copying tmsng db and taken offline - changed then to the TMS VM server host name).

    13.2 of TMS and TMSPE installed smoothly on the virtual machine, we copied then the db tmsng existing since the physical server on the SQL 2008 VM server.

    Everything seemed fine, except that we could not clearly one of the TMS tickets tell us different MST services were not running, this despite the Court and restaring every MSDS services several times.

    TMPSE diagnosis showed all green, but the VCS - C told us a different story; with all of the connections; telephone directories and devices, users will fail with an http 400 error.

    At this stage our window of opportunity was closing quickly, we had to go back and bring back the old physical server, on the line.

    During testing, we used different for the physical host names and servers of MV, but we found TMS2 tickets thrown indicating different services of MST did not run on TMS1, so we thought we would try with identical host names for TMS1 and TMS2.

    There are some dependencies that we missed?

    Any advice on how to achieve better would be much appreciated.

    see you soon

    Hello

    I have seen this problem several times before and his tickets basically generation because it has a double set of services listed in under TMS Server (below), the following list Maintenance TMSNG db when you move it, it shows that there are for example 1 TMS Live Racing Department and one stop of service TMS Live where the next generates this ticket. Simply click the clear list to solve the problem.

    Regarding the TMSPE, have you moved the db TMSPE more on the new server or you let it run to the old?

    At all the configurations to correct in terms of user name / etc in the field configuration settings?

    I think that the Acquisition of Image Windows (WIA) service is disabled in your system. Unlike Windows XP or Vista, in most Windows Server systems, this service is disabled by default. You can activate it in this way:

    1. right click on my computer and select manage.

    2. Select "Applications and Services-> Services";

    3. find Windows Image Acquisition (WIA), right click and select Properties.

    4. Select "auto" in the "Startup Type" list box in the "Général" tab

    I have 2 sites that connect to a Server 2003 R2 Terminal Server that works without a problem for about 5 years.  In the last a week site has suddenly developed questions keyboard when connecting to a Terminal server server.  When they connect to the TS the BACKSPACE and shift does not work.  I tested the connection to an another TS that is not associated with this company as a test and they have the same problems so it's a problem in all areas and not with Server 2003 box.

    At first, I thought it was just a job, but when I've looked beyond, it's in all areas within the office.  All the workstations are Win 7 with all updates applied, I checked to see if there are updates in the last week that have been applied that would affect RDP but there was anything.  I tried the system restore to 3 weeks without a bit of luck.  Tried a new profile on box of Windows 7 and Server 2003 box with no luck.  I tried other things, but nothing has worked.  I'm running out of ideas, any help you can provide would be great.
