Hi All.<br />
<br />
I have a Terminal Server running on Windows 2000 and 50 clients connecting using CAL and RDP.Have 30 printers located on network PCs installed on the Server and security rights assigned.<br />
It is observed in the Task Manager that the print spooler service takes up maximum of my Servers CPU utilisation. This hinders the performace of my Windows 2000 Server and hence all users facing sluggishness while performing Print operation from Word/Excel.<br />
<br />
Can anyone suggest a better alternative to mimimise the CPU utilisation?? <br />

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.
