I already had UPH Clean installed running, but have uninstalled / reinstalled in case of a newer version or broken service; will reboot the server tonight and monitor for a few days. But, is there any way to kill dead printer sessions without rebooting? Right click and delete doesnt work....neither does 'net stop / start spooler&quot;...thanks!

Hi,<br />
<br />
I followed the above solution and but now I can't login to the server using RDP? Do you what might have caused this?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Hi all. I administer a W2K3 Terminal Server with about 10 active sessions at any one time. Randomnly, at least once a week, I'll have multiple instances of the same printer being redirected from clients (Copy1, copy2, etc) even though all clients are limited to a single TS session. I have been unable to trace this to a particular print driver (which Im sure is where the problem is). These redirections do not disappear when the user logs off, but will create a new instance upon login. Is there a script or a cmd line that I can use to kill / delete redirected printer instances? Currently, only rebooting does the trick, but this is extremely difficult, as Ive got users in 4 different geographic areas logging in constantly. Thanks in advance for your help.

Multiple Instances of same redirected printer

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

The Microsoft Server topic includes all of the legacy versions of the operating system, including the Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and Windows Home Server versions.

Microsoft Server OS

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
