Problems printing via AppleTalk with a Windows 2003 print server

My company is migrating from Windows 2000 Server over to Windows 2003, which is going to be the new acting print queue.
We have a mix of old and new printers (most of them HP), and our Macs have been printing to the printers via AppleTalk. With the new print server, we could not easily find the printers on the network since AppleTalk was not turned on. However, once AppleTalk was turned on, it was easy to find and add the printers. We are good so far. Before hand, I tried to add the printers via an SMB connection, but kept having problems with NT Authentication errors.
I tried printing a test page to the newly added printer, and it came back with this error:
%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: languagelevel ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
This is about the best reference I've found so far which relates to this problem:
http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1167812&page=1
Most of the other suggestions I've dug up so far refer to updating firmware or drivers, but I don't think that is the problem. The drivers on the old W2K print server and the new W2k3 server are the same, so it is my opinion that something on the new print server isn't turned on or isn't installed yet.
Any ideas on what the issue is here?

"Supposedly" the same exact drivers were installed for the printer -- the same driver that was used on the old print server. Might something else need to be installed?
I've found a few other cases where people are having the same error:
http://www.macfixitforums.com/showflat.php?Board=Forum39&Number=732031
Below is the error that is printed when I print a test page from http://localhost:631
SYSTEM Test Page
%%[Error: syntaxerror; OffendingCommand: --nostringval-- ]%%
%%[Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored]%%
Below is the error that is printed when I try to print a document (I've tried Safari, Preview, and TextEdit).

Problem with upgrade Windows 2003 to Windows 2008

Hi,
I have problem with upgrade Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 R2
When I run installer it check compatibility drivers and programs after that appear message that I need to uninstall "adaptec storage manager" but I already remove this driver from the system and registry.
Any ideas to solve this problem?
My server it's IBM System x3500
Regards

Not sure if this issue was solved or no longer relevant, but I had the same issue with the same IBM x3500 server type.
Based on the SETUPACT.LOG output from the Server 2003 to 2008 upgrade compatibility check, the problem was that the driver AACMGT.SYS is unsigned, and hence not acceptable for running in Windows Server 2008.
AACMGT.SYS is a part of IBM ServeRAID but unfortunately, even the latest versions 9.3 to not seem to update or replace this file. It's also possible this file is a residue of an earlier, deprecated version of ServeRAID, I don't know.
In the end, to get passed the Upgrade check hard stop, I did this, though I'm not sure if all steps are needed:
0. Make sure you have a system backup in case you break something doing this steps. If you do break your system and cannot recover from backups, it's not my fault!
1. Go into Device Manager --> Disks and check the Driver properties for the disks on your system. You might have AACMGT.SYS listed for some/all disks and also listed as unsigned.
2. Uninstall IBM ServeRAID from the system, just in case
3. Do into Device Manager and go under Disks, and manually Uninstall all the disks in the list including "AdaptecArray SCSI Disk" and some other secondary. I did not reboot right away.
4. Go to console, go into C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS, and rename AACMGT.SYS to something else.
5. Reboot the system and hope it still boots. Go into Device Manager -> Disks and make sure that AACMGT.SYS is no longer listed.
6. Run the 2003 to 2008 Upgrade process again. The Compatibility checker should no longer flag "Adaptec Storage Manager" as a blocker.

Is is possible to add Windows 6 64-bit drivers to a Windows 2003 print server?

We are having some trouble figuring a way in which to support network printing for Windows 7 64-bit machines that we are starting to intermittently put out in what, as of this moment, is still primarily a native XP 32-bit environment. Our concern has been that, if we replace the drivers on the print server to the Windows 7 64-bit drivers, then the XP machines will then pull down those drivers and then not be able to print any longer. According to Microsoft, the way around this is to utilize the "Additional Drivers" area within the properites of the printer. From there, in theory, you can add a new driver that uses "x64" as the print processor. However, when we attempted to do this on our legacy Windows 2003 print server (which I believe to be 32-bit) we noticed that, in the "version area" of the selection for the x64 print processor, Windows 7 is not listed. We then receive the following error message after we attempt to go forward and add the driver. . .
-Selected printer driver not found
The specified location does not contain the driver HP LaserJet 4050 Series PCL6 for the requested processor architecture
It looks to me that the problem is in that the server is Windows 2003 and we are attempting to make Windows 7 drivers work within that framework. Can someone please confirm this suspician or instruct us further?
Thanks,

Gotcha!!
I am done with mounting a secondary HDD (thanks to ifixit) and installing Windows 8 Pro 64 bit on it without a worry. Charm, charm!!
Boot Camp 5 guide prescribes all needed steps and when read and used correctly, installation must be an easy task. And all the existing apple hardwares work so good in the Windows environment too.
I am going to help out a friend of mine in doing a similar thing on his mac too. If you got specific questions, please do shoot up here and i should be able to get a reply to it (if at all).
Thanks everyone.

Integrating SAP ECC 6.0 with Microsoft Windows 2003 Active Directory

Hi Gurus,
We are planning to integrate our SAP ECC 6.0 with Microsoft Windows 2003 Active directory.
I have several questions on this:
1. Can i authenticate all the users from SAP
2. It is used only for user authentication or can it be also used for password authentication
ie user can login using his windows password?
3. While integration in SAP does a separate table or a field is created in database.
4.If a employee leaves a company than in SAP is it possible to lock & deactivate the user automatically.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Nihar

Hi Mastek,
You should be able to accomodate your needs with respect to integration of your AD accounts with SAP ECC ABAP. This can be done via LDAP connector configuration. The below has info on how to perfrom the configuration at a high level. You will have to integrate, and map certain user data. You may also want to do some LDAP Connector research:

Locked files using a Windows 2003 File Server with Mac 10.6 clients running CS5

We migrated 40 Mac users from OS X 10.5/CS3 to OS X 10.6/CS5 back in November. Our InDesign files are kept on a Windows 2003 file server.
We have had fairly constant complaints of InDesign and Photoshop files being reported as locked when users try to save their work back to the server. This did not occur as frequently with CS3.
Has anyone else had this issue?

I'd suggest starting with iFelix's Sharing files between a Windows XP PC and a Mac running OS 10.4.x

Can Reader pick up the Default Page Size of a printer that is not the Windows Default Printer?

We have a web based application that generates PDF documents via Crystal Reports.
We are using Adobe Reader 8
The PDF pages are displayed within an Internet Explorer window where the the users then print the document.
The application is designed so the user only gets one chance to print the document (ie they cant come back and change printer settings if they happen to print the document out incorrectly)
The document needs to be printed on A3 paper, full duplex.
We have a printer set-up decidated to the printing of the documents generated by this application. The default page size of this printer is set of A3.
If we set this dedicated printer as the Windows Default Printer we have no problems at all. The default page size (A3) is picked up and the document is printed correctly.
If any other printer is set as the Windows Default Printer (eg one that has a default page size of A4), the users must obviously select the correct printer from the Print Dialogue Box -however when the user selects the dedicated A3 printer, the page size remains as A4 (page size of the Windows Default Printer). This means the user must remember to change the paper size to A3 each time.
Out users find IT a struggle at the best of times - anything that makes the process simpler is very welcomed!
Is there a way to ensure the default page size of the printer is respected when that printer is not the Windows Default Printer?
Thanks!

No.

It may be a problem with your printer. Try posting on a Canon forum. Often times it is not your Mac.

CA and Certificate Issue in ACS 4.0 For Windows 2003 Enterprise Server

Hi,
I have configured Microsoft CA server on the same ACS 4.0 for Windows 2003 enterprise server which was configured earlier using the self generated certificates for EAP and PEAP authentications.
After I change the certificate from self generated to the new CA certificate that can be viewed under install ACS certificate option on ACS server but having the following problems
1. SSL is not functioning while internet browser access to the ACS server and going through http instead of https.
2. Wireless clients are authenticated successfully even after the certificate is uninstalled.
Any help on these problems will be appreciated.
Thanks
Best Regards,
Ahmed

Hi Rohit,
Thanks for reminding the HTTPS option under Administration Control on ACS.
I have some doubts pertaining to installation of certificates on Wireless clients though it is optional for Self Generated Certificates but what in case of Mirosoft CA as I tested wireless client authentications even after removing the certificate from microsoft supplicant WindowsXP SP2 having installed the patch KB885453 for PEAP. How the certificate on wireless client works.
Is it mandatory or optional to keep certificate on Wireless Clients as they could able to get authenticated through ACS after removing the certificate.
Thanks
Best Regards,
Ahmed

Windows 2003 Terminal Server, ZEN 7, and WSUS

Hi,
We're having a problem getting a group policy to "Stick" in Windows 2003
terminal server. The server(s) have the ZEN 7.01 agent installed per
the TID's for a terminal server. We believe we've set all the Group
Policies of the users that login to these systems, yet once they are
rebooted, the WSUS update server location resets to the default
(update.microsoft.com). This is set in gpedit in:
\computer configuration\administrative templates\Windows
Components\Windows Update
Is this settable in a user package, or should this be done in a
workstation package? If so, could we "force" the workstation package to
override the Windows Update settings for all users, regardless of what
user policy package they have?
Thanks for any ideas!
Greg

In the Properties of the WS Group Policy, there is an option to set "Loop
Back" so that the Computer GPO is set last.

I dream of running Dreamweaver on a Windows 2003 Terminal Server

I have a "volume" license and attempted to install Dreamweaver CS4 on a Windows 2003 Terminal Server. I get an error message right away indicating that the system does not meet the minimum install requirements, ie XP/Vista.
Adobe volume licensing team verified that it is the correct license for installing on a terminal server, but after one hour of what would a bad nightmare with adobe "no" support (Outsourcing issue, failure to grasp and process the basic error message) I got no where and am having to resort to the forums. I have googled on this and got no where and nothing on the search efforts on this site.
If anyone has an idea of what is going on, bug, wrong install media, please clue me in.
Thanks!

pziecina
Thanks for the information. We do have AppV here and tried that approach. While this gets us past the install minimum requirements, it does not resolve the issue of running of more than one instance at a time, per terminal server, even though our volume license allows for it.

Oracle ODBC Driver (Windows 2003 x64 Server)

Hi all
I have some trouble with this ODBC Driver ...
I have installed Oracle Client 10.2.0.1.0 with the ODBC Driver and SQLplus etc.
Now I have configured in the "Net Manager" some "Service Naming" as I did
on other servers before. Then I Test the connection in the "Net Manager" it
seams to work fine.
When I now try to connect in SQL Plus the following error comes up:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
I did already do this:
- Add "...\NETWORK\ADMIN" to the Path Variable of the server
- sqlnet.ora looks like:
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES)
- tnsnames.ora looks like:
MyName.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myDomain.net)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = DBSIDxx)
What do I have to do to get this working ???
Thanks for any comments!
Best regards
Frank Uray

Nevermind, I think I'm to assume that this is the same as:

Hi
As mentioned above you will not find Toshiba drivers designed especially for the Windows 2003 R2 Server.
But dont worry and dont give up.
The simply Windows XP drivers should be compatible and you should be able to install the Xp drivers on the Win2003 Server OS.
good luck
