Hello, and thanks for any insight on this issue. I am on an enterprise network work with several servers running Win2000 Adv Srvr, not all but some of these servers experienced the following issue. Server is sluggish or unresponsive, Server cannot be accessed via terminal services, Hangs at login, and Users cannot print to any printer on the server. The fix was to cold boot the server, login and stop the spooler service. Immediately the server is responsive and seemingly back to normal minus the printing. After restarting the spooler service users could not print, had to remove all current printers and print drivers. After warm boot created and use new printers and drivers. My question is what caused this?
