Chris,
I read all of the articles that you forwarded (thanks) but I'm still having
problems. I have noticed that since removing any reference to pruning from
AD the printers are only dropping once a day now instead of multiple times.
I also noticed in the event viewer of another DC that it was having trouble
contacting this particular DC from time to time. Unless you have another
suggestion I'm going to assume that this is actually hardware related as
opposed to AD.
Thoughts?
