2006-08-27 Thread Mathieu CHATEAU
Hello ActiveDir, I know this is out of topic, but it I think this is a non common issue to know about. I just came across a bug on ntfs.sys. It made chkdsk reporting many errors on security descriptors like this: Replacing invalid security id with default security id for file 1396371.

[ActiveDir] Printers AD GUI

After 6 years of working with AD I just realized that when you unshare a printer it becomes invisible and unmanageable. I guess I always knew this in the back of my head, but it never hit home until I tried cleaning up the printer list. Why are printers third-class citizens of AD, without a

Hello there, have you had a look at the Windows Server 2003 R2 Printer Management Console, I think this will solve your issue (still doesn't make printers first class citizens though ;)) Carlos [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: After 6 years of working with AD I just realized that when you unshare a

Print Queue objects are created by default under the computer on which the printers are shared from. It is, in fact, IMO, an extremely logical way of handling it since you don't have to worry about delegating permissions to print admins, the computer itself can create/delete them as necessary.

Right. The computer is responsible for managing the print queue objects. Any changes you make on the print server are reflected on the published queue. Everytime the spooler service starts it confirms that the queue objects for published printers are all still in the directory. There is a thread

Hello Victor, you will at least need an account that can access all mailboxes (not a domain admins one) (or give a script to everyone that they will execute) To my knowledge, quota is mailbox based. You may set up a special retention on this folder. sample _vbscript_ to create the private

You cant do per folder quotas. If youve got a lot of mailboxes thats going to be slow going with that code (but it will work). Exchange 2007 and Outlook 2007 add a feature which will accomplish what you want. Thanks, Brian Desmond [EMAIL PROTECTED] c - 312.731.3132
