I have an odd problem with one of my Windows 2000 Servers. This particular server is a print server. When ever I try to install either SP3 or SP4, it hoses up the print queues. Both the Printer Spooler service and the TCP/IP Print service appear to be running just fine, but print jobs fail, every time. Restarting the services don't seem to help. As soon as I uninstall either service pack, the server goes back to normal.

Windows 2000 Print Server+Service Pack Problem

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
