You can remove the execution permission on cmd.exe for these users (assuming the file is on a NTFS partition).

You can implement some restrictions from the System Policy Editor. Choose File->Open Registry, then Local User and there you can have a look at Shell, Windows NT Shell and System. All three contain a "Restrictions" element with a few possibilities. Restricting access to the command...

Does ASCII ftp on a single text file work fine? What about using ux2dos on your text files before the transfer (ux2dos, then compression, and finally transfer in binary mode). e.g. ux2dos myfile >workdir/myfile

Aren't you working with Windows XP? If you are, have a look at MS KB entry Q314056. It describes svchost.exe and explains how you can use tasklist /SVC to find the active services in each svchost.exe process. If you find the services in the CPU consuming svchost.exe, you might be able to find...

I had a similar problem a few months ago. Unfortunately, I don't remember how I got rid of it.

That will depend on what this server is doing. Is it a file server, an application server? You should use the Performance Monitor to find where the bottleneck is (processor, RAM, disk(s), network), remove the bottleneck (mainly by adding new components or replacing them by faster ones) and...

Hi unixadmin, The "sh" process is probably the shell running the script (.profile or any other script) that launches "application". After starting "application", it stays sleeping until "application" terminates. If it doesn't have to do anything when...

Can you give more information about the processes created (ps)?

Have a look at the following MS KBase Entry: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q106211

Is there enough space left on the disk where the spool is located. By default, this is \<winnt_root>\System32\Spool\Printers. You can change it in the Print Server's properties on the tab &quot;Advanced&quot; or directly in the registry in the key...
