| Hope everyone had a nice weekend. Let's start with another week of questions.
You have a server named PrintSrv1 on which your have installed a printer.
The server has two volumes ( C: and D: ). Both drives have been formatted with NTFS, and you have configured a disk quota on the C: drive allowing users to save no more than 10 MB worth of data to the drive. There is no disk quota limit configured for the D: drive.
The C: drive currently has 1 GB of free space and the D: drive has 500 MB of free space.
Several users are complaining that when they attempt to print to the printer they are unsuccessful. Although not everyone is experiencing this problem, you have noticed that it tends to happen when users attempt to print large print jobs.
How would you solve this problem with the least amount of administrative effort?
A. Delete the printer. Recreate a new printer on the D: drive of the server.
B. Move the spool folder to the D: drive.
C. Convert the disk from a basic disk to a dynamic disk.
D. Change the default permissions on PrintSrv1 to give the Authenticated Users the Manage Printers permission.
Good luck and see you tomorrow for the answer!! | |

| answer B
my reasoning:
1) satisfies least amount of admin effort
2) spooler files allow printing of large or complex print jobs, so makes sense to move that folder to a drive with no disk quotas | |

Am I right in thinking that the temp file created by spooling the print job will count towards the users disk quota? | |

| B would be the solution here. By moving the spooler to a disc that has no quotas, users wont exceed them when printing large files | |

And the answer is....B
The users are unable to have their documents spooled due to the quota restrictions that are in place. If the spool folder is located on the C: drive, it is subject to the quota limit that has been configured for the drive. If the users have other data on the drive, they may be prevented from saving additional data (for example, large print jobs) on the drive.
To fix the problem, move the location of the spool folder from the C: drive to the D: drive. This can be done from Server Properties in the File menu for Printers.
Nice job everyone!! |
