NimbostratusMS Print servers
Hi all,
I am planning to use my new F5 LTM to load balance Windows Server 2003 print servers. For the moment, it doesn't work for me: I can see the shared printer but I can't map it.

Here's the new link to the guide for creating the WMI monitor. As I recall it was pretty straightforward. I'm even using the same interval and timeout. Looking at my monitor properties, the only thing I see that is different is my alias service port is 3389 and the external program path is /usr/bin/monitors. Also, you'll need to enable remote WMI requests on the win2k8 boxes if not already enabled.

CirrostratusStefan,
Post your config and I'll compare to my working setup. Do you have the service port set to 0? My configuration is based off a lot of trial and error and a little less understanding. It does work though. I've been serving ~700 queues for a little over 2 years with multiple gigabytes of traffic going through the VIP every day.
