RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Receiving Posts out of order
It appears to be a "feature" of the iMail list software. I've noticed it on other lists as well as this one. Actually, I wouldn't mind moving to different list software anyway. iMail lacks the "no-mail" feature that Lyris and others offer which allows you to post without getting any list mail. This feature is useful in conjunction with Exchange public folder subcriptions. I'll have a chat with my service provider. In the meantime, I'll halve your monthly list subscription fee :-) Tony [list owner] -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Sullivan, KevinSent: Friday, November 08, 2002 7:20 PMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: [ActiveDir] OT: Receiving Posts out of order Sorry for the way off topic but I seem to receive some responses before I get the original posts.

RE: [ActiveDir] Pruning printers from AD
By default they will appear as objects under the parent print server object. For example, if you click the print server in the left hand pane you should see the printQueue object in the right hand pane. Simply right-click the printQueue object and select delete and it will be removed from Active Directory.

How long have you waited? The pruning service is governed by Group Policy settings. The default setting is that the service will try to check the printer availability (on the print server) three times at 8 hour intervals, after which it removes the printer objects from AD. Check your GPO settings and also check the Spoolsv.exe process is running on at least one DC in your domain.
