Yeppers, moving the spool directory is one of the motivating factors for my client looking at redundant print servers.
They've had reports large enough to use all the space on C:. ________________________________________ From: Ben Scott [[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, April 01, 2009 11:10 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Redundant Print Servers On Wed, Apr 1, 2009 at 10:58 AM, Terry Dickson <[email protected]> wrote: > I can think of one.

That could be addressed my putting things on separate partitions. It's prolly worthwhile considering a dedicated partition for the AD database (NTDS.DIT and friends) and SYSVOL for just this very reason, maybe even on dedicated DCs. Likewise, it's a good idea to relocate the print job spool directory to a different/dedicated partition. Changes the result of overly large print jobs from "entire machine unstable" to "delete the jobs". Of course, we're not doing either in our environment right now. Something to think about for our next server upgrade. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
