Hi Andrew,
Unless you've done the reghacks to disable loading of printer drivers,
entrpeneurial users can still give you problems. On the other hand, I had an
HP driver that worked fine for 5 months, until a new user started using a
stapler option.
Crashed the server every time. We finally caugth what was happening when the
user phoned up to say they kept getting disconnected from the server every
time they went to print. By that time they'd taken out over half the farm so
we were getting a bit twitchy.
Get a copy of windebug and do a dump analysis. It's dead simple and it'll
give you the driver that's causing the problem.
By the way kernel mode (version-2) drivers will still crash a win2k system.
Nice thing about windows 2003 is a policy that disables loading of kernel
mode drivers.
regards,
Rick

Subject: [THIN] Diagnosing Crashes
One of our metaframe servers (the main one, no less! :( ) has suddenly had =
an attack of the lame. We've had 3 crashes and 1 hang in the past 24 hours,=
where the crashes are the lovely 0x50 page fault in non paged area (oh, bt=
w, this is NT4 with mf1.8 - am praying to the software gods we get at least=
win2k this year!)
I'm almost 100% sure no printer drivers have been added, as im the only adm=
in around to do so, so was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to diag=
nose (or at least roughly pinpoint!) whats causing the server to go round t=
he bend suddenly? Theres nothing in the eventlog, other than a message sayi=
ng it cant send the to another server, but we've had that for a while..
Andrew
