Just a warning to those out there to test this, retest this, and
re-retest this some more.
I obtained the memory leak fix that is included in this fix a few weeks
ago (as a private fix). It did indeed fix the memory leak problem, but
introduced a new problem where servers would just stop auto-creating
printers, with no notice whatsoever. We backed out the cpsvc.exe that
was included in this particular hotfix, and the problems went away
immediately and haven't come back.
We tested the cpsvc.exe we were given to verify that the memory leak was
fixed, but because this was "the only fix" contained in this version of
it, we weren't expecting it to affect our environment in that way.
Now we're leery of installing any fix dealing with cpsvc.exe, even
though it's leaking up to a gig of memory per week. I'm currently
working with Citrix to try and find out what's going on.
Just a warning...install at your own risk.
Adam

Citrix have released a "Limited release" hotfix for 2k and 2k3 Take a
look at section 5 pasted below.
" LIMITED RELEASE - Hotfix PSE400R01W2K3020" PSE400R01W2K020
Issue(s) Resolved in this Hotfix
Caution! Several items in this hotfix may require you to edit the
registry.
Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may
require you to reinstall your operating system. Citrix cannot guarantee
that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be
solved .
Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
1.. Autocreated printers cannot be shared. This occurs because to
share a printer, the Server service must access the printer. The Server
service runs under the local SYSTEM account, which is not added to the
printer's access control list.
With this fix, the local SYSTEM account is added to the printer's
access control list so that autocreated printers can be shared.
[From PSE400R01W2K3009][#123268]
2.. Printer properties cannot be saved for printers using the legacy
naming convention.
[From PSE400R01W2K3009][#127066]]
3.. When using a legacy client (Version 8.x or earlier) to connect to
a server running Presentation Server 4.0 or later, printers may be
created with the default printer properties. An event ID 1103 is logged
instead.
[From PSE400R01W2K3009][#128341]
4.. Autocreated client printers may not be deleted at logoff and leave
print jobs pending on the server's print spooler.
[From PSE400R01W2K3020][#128719]
5.. Printers may go offline at random.
[From PSE400R01W2K3020][#132009, 135596]
6.. The memory used by cpsvc.exe as users log on and send print jobs
through the client network is not reduced as sessions log off.
