Why do I get an error message "Active Directory Domain Services unavailable" when I'm not connected to a server?

I have 2 computers running under that Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 connected to a modem-router D-Link. I have defined a collective dwelling and have attached my HP Officejet 4500 printer to the router.

At the office on both computers, when I click on "Find a printer" in the window of the printer, I get the error "Active Directory Domain Services unavailable. Do not understand why this error exists, since I do not have any field. There is no server on the network.

    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.

    Hello J,

    I was able to run your script posted by without error until I got the 'Calculate' button based on the amount in non-controlled ANALYSIS.  At the time wherever I checked it, however, your VBScript even produces on my computer the error you get on your own, to the ChnAverage() command.  Thus, I think somehow this button in the ANALYSIS got recently checked on your computer.  If you have the "Calculate the quantity-based" button checked, you see also avenues of treatment on the data portal:

    I get to see all the messages that I deleted in my "Deleted items" folder and when I try to delete the message in this folder I get an error message 'some items in the folder "Deleted items" can not be deleted.' an error has occurred.  Also when I try to delete my Inbox it won't move message from 'deleted items '.  Any suggestions?

    This is probably due to a mismatch between what is in the message store and which think that the database is in the message store.  Try to compact and repair the database and see if that fixes the problem.  See www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/
