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.

CirrostratusHere's another print problem I've been noodling on for the last couple days and just figured out. Anonymous jobs going to zebra print queues (on 2008 R2) would spool, but not print. Anonymous has access to spoolss, so what could be the problem? It turned out to be driver isolation. With driver isolation enabled the drivers run in their own protected process, not the spooler process. I disabled driver isolation for the problematic driver and anonymous jobs started printing. That was an interesting one.

NimbostratusChris,
Is there anyway you can send me some screenshots of the settings on your VS ? I see a couple of replies back that Brian Mayer says he just did a standard vs with snat, but id also like to do the same thing with priority groups, even though I'm not sure how to do this so if you or Brian can help me with the priority group settings. also if you provide me with the wmi string you used to monitor the servers it would be much appreciated.
