in safe mode you should be able to copy/replace the spools folder, have you checked compared the the registry keys for spooler service on both?

Guido Elia HELPPC - HELPPC SERVICE Da: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Per conto di Rubens Almeida Inviato: venerdì 14 febbraio 2014 10.49 A: [email protected] Oggetto: RE: [NTSysADM] Spoolsv issue Right now, the only thing I can think of are the printer drivers. Sent from my Windows Phone 8 From: Cameron Cooper Sent: 2/13/2014 9:06 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [NTSysADM] Spoolsv issue Was hoping that someone has experienced this and was able to resolve it…. Here’s what’s happening: We have two Windows 2008 R2 servers clustered together using Microsoft’s Failover Clustering that are connected to a SAN. Within the failover clustering we have setup the following applications: DHCP, File Server and Print Server. In testing the failover from the primary node to the secondary node, the DHCP and File Server will failover without any issues, whereas the Print Server fails. In looking at the event viewer on the secondary node, I see the following event: Event 7000, Service Control Manager The Print Spooler service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified. When I go into Services.msc and try to start the Print Spooler, the following error appears: Windows could not start the Print Spooler service on Local Computer. Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified What I’ve done so far: - Made sure that the file server was online on the secondary node, since this is where the print server storage resides. - Checked the Print Spooler service to see where the spoolsv.exe file was and then confirmed that it is in that location (%systemroot%\system32\) - Tried to move a copy of the file from the primary node, but the file won’t copy over since the system32 folder is protected. - Researched this online to see if there were any other suggestions and all I’ve been able to find suggested to copy the spoolsv.exe file Thoughts/ideas on how to resolve?
