It is a network share, using an internal JetDirect card.

NT Server.

I have a situation where some users are logging into the network (all NT4 based) and finding that their default printer is not available. They have to first delete the default printer, then add it back in order to get it to work. It is happening to most but not all users...I would say 75%...

We have done something similar to this in our organization...but Exchange itself can't do it. We wound up purchasing Trend Interscan. It has a content management module that can block mail on the way in and the way out. Which would allow you to have a list of recipients that would not get...

FTP...did not think of that. Yes, we have a firewall, but I administer that and no changes have been made to it since the problems have started happening. Also, there are no eventlog entries in either the host or server machines. I will try the FTP thing once it breaks again, and report back then.

Good suggestion. I checked that first actually. I just used Machine A and B for the sake of simplicity, but in actuality it is happening on MANY machines in the office. As for AV, McAfee...but that has been implimented for over 3 years without a problem.
