Hi all...

I know this is an XP issue but i'm more concerned with the domain networks...

"Data execution prevention" update from microfsoft, first time I ran into it. 3 windows xp computers refused to print locally stating something about forcing closed an application for security reasons. I know there's patches from the vendors but...

I think the download is KB921883 here:

details on how to deal with it here:

Don't want it on? you have to edit the boot.ini file and look for /noexecute=policy_level,
change policy_level to AlwaysOff and reboot.

Is it possible to change the boot.ini from the server through GPO or something? Or will I need to disable it from each workstation? I don't want this running on any of my networks and i've got the funny feeling this is going to be a hassle. I know there's patches, but that's alot of different local printers.

Thank you :)

Rob
