I have an old Proliant 3000 which is a PDC in a Win2000
Domain. The only other thing it used to do was act as an
Oracle server. I am planning a shift around of what goes
on what and decided that the Proliant 3000 would serve
best as a file and print server, and also handle DHCP,
RAS, Anti-virus server roles. It has more than enough
HDD space - two SCSI arrays Raid 5. Uses 450Mhz mult-
processor (x2) PII, and 1GB RAM. So it should hanle the
load.
I came in this morning after having moved all the shared
folders and printers onto the 3000 and remapped all the
clients over the weekend, to find everything in a mess.
The server was reporting event 2022 every minute, all
mapped drives where in a disconnected state on the client
PCs, and deleting and reconnecting to the printers on the
server was taking for ever. I restarted the server and
event 2022 has stopped. The shared folders seem to be OK
as well, but printing is an absolute mess still.
Printers either take incredibly long to connect to or
they connect quickly, but either way they still don't
work correctly. When I look in the Printers folder on a
client PC the printers first come up as opening or
initialising and after about a minute the change to
ready. But then yo try to connect to another printer and
the whole lot goes moggy again.
The printers were sitting on a desktop PC that had
windows 2K server installed and everything was fine. You
would think that on Proliant server things would be even
better.
Can someone help, please?!!!
