MS 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.

Stuck at the moment. I can map the printer fine if I connect through the VIP (eg. \\192.168.0.10 and double-click on the printer). But if I map the FQDN (eg. \\virtualserver.mydomain.com and double click on the printer) I get the error "Operation could not be completed (error 0x00000709). Double check the printer name and make sure that the printer is connected to the network."

 

 

This is Win2K8. Registry settings DisableLoopbackCheck, DisableStrictNameChecking, and OptionalNames are set. F5 Service Ports 0 (All services) are set on the Virtual Server and Pool config. Not sure what to do at this point, would appreciate any help! I have access to the F5 and the servers.
