NetworkingI have a sbs 2003, active directory...domain is reliable..i have a mix of
windows xp pro systems....some are service pack 2, upgraded to service pack 3, and built to service pack 3. Problem is, on some of the systems when the printer is installed, there list in directory doesnt become an option and i can browse to the shared printer. have a service pack 2 system, installed a new printer, listed in directory, and i can see it on all systems, regardless of the service pack. one system in particular, upgraded to service pack 3, no option to list in directory, and can not access it from any system. all systems are in the domain, can see the server, and have a drive successfully mapped any suggestions.....also i have to rename the systems for the customer, and make the name more generic to the job function and not the user......for example, the workstation will become inside-sale, username quotes...and i have about 10 workstations that this needs to become accomplished....and a side note, there is only 10 workstations, so i know im not exceeding the 10 limit on the shared printers, because only 9 systems would be attaching to any given workstation for its shared printer Mark C. <Ma***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote:

For this and for many other reasons, I suggest you try using a news client, such as Forte Agent, Thunderbird, or even Outlook Express, instead. It's a lot easier to do nearly everything that way. You can mark messages to be watched, filter the views so you can see replies to your posts easily, and search. The Microsoft public news server is msnews.microsoft.com and you can subscribe to as many groups as you like; no authentication is required.
