Well i'm afraid I would be little or no help but if you feel this is something that can be scripted easily I would be very grateful for help.

Thanks very much for that. I'm afraid I'm no programmer and it doesn't mean anything to me. There are a couple of hundred print queues that need administering. I think I'll keep going with the delagated admin route. Either that or try and resurrect my career as a rock star.

The error is the standard windows Access Denied...

Thanks for that but this is quite a high level document providing an overview of delegated administration. I need to know how to delegate control of an OU of printers so that a certain group can only read all the properties and delete print jobs...

Hello, does anyone know if it is possible to delegate control of an OU (that only contains printers) so that it is only possible to view properties and delete stalled jobs? I delegated control of our printers OU to the service desk and created a custom task that allowed read all properties and...

Hello all, we are migrating a number of print queues from an nt server to another off-site nt server. Most of our clients print to unc paths, eg: \\servername\printer As NT4 doesn't support aliases we're faced with the unattractive task of visiting every single PC to change the path. Is...

The security groups on the appliance have already been set up. As I'm sure you know it emulates a win 2000 member server. I agree that the problem is definitely on the NT side, but I think I've found a way round it: I mapped a drive to the server from my (XP) laptop and was able to copy the...

Hello all, I'm trying to move about 40GB of data from 2 windows nt4 servers to a netapp filer. Xcopy will not work as despite the fact the filer emulates a windows 2000 member server it cannot be accessed via 16 bit windows apps so I'm having to do a manual drag and drop. Unfortunately the...

Further to what I wrote above I've done a bit of testing. I created a test directory structure with nonsensical folder names just to create a path that was too long for a normal drag and drop copy. I then ran xcopy and got an Insufficient Memory error! I checked on Microsoft's site and the...

Thanks for that. So putting it in very simple terms I would need to map a drive to the parent directory and the carry out an xcopy in DOS?

Hello all, I'm copying user data from one of our servers to a netapp filer but am receiving a 'path too long' error. I believe this is because the path to some files is greater than 255 (260?) characters long. I truncated the name of the first couple of files that produced an error but more...

That's just what I'm looking for. Thanks very much.

The incorrect CLSID is a typo on my part. I forgot that an S can't possibly be part of a hex string. I have installed the adminpak and the mmc started working okay. The issue I have with this is that the whole point of creating and securing a custom mmc was that so we wouldn't have to install...

Tried registering those .dlls (successfully) and rebooted but got the same error. Unless anyone has any other ideas I think I'll have to admit defeat and install the full admin pack. Although it's frustrating as the mmc is working okay on 2 machines...

Not sure. Will investigate. Doesn't this defeat the object of creating taskpads though? I realise they won't be able to make any changes without the necessary delegated admin but I would have thought that it's a bad idea just to have all those tools available.
