Windows server 2003 Printer Tutorial

Printer---software device

Printer device—hardware device

Local printer: attached directly to a computer

Network printer: connected to a HUB or switch

The print drivers are installed on a print server and are shared.

Printer priority: 99 highest, ex: if we have 2 printers make the priority for one printer as 10 and the other one 5. So the higher priority will print first, same for the print schedule

Separator page: Create a separator page and which separates bundle of pages, ex: when you want to print 100 pages, but 50/50 should be separated, so once 50 pages are printed out, you will receive a separator page.

We can open the print server using a web browser, but, u need to have IIS installed. On the print server

 From the client machine, http: // izone/printer

When we configure a local printer we can select ports as LPT1 etc, but, when we need to configure a network printer then we need to add tcp/ip port

Group policy—computer settings—printer settings—pre-populate printers in AD

When every any user search for printer they are already pre-populated in AD

Exchange server 2007 message flow

Message transport components:

Submission queue: stores all messages on disk awaiting processing

Store driver: received messages from outbox, when ever we send mails they are stored in outbox

Ms Exchange mail submission service

Runs on mail box server

Notifies hub transport when MSG is ready to be retrieved from senders outbox

Stores driver picks up the message

Pick up directory

Submits messages to submission queue

Categorizer:

Process messages from submission queue

Handles messages with multiple recipients

Determines routing path

Applies organization message policies

Message flow from outside the organization:

Enters via SMTP receive connector

Edge server or hub server

Message is dropped into submission queue

Message flow from with in organization

Enter via SMTP receive connector

Hub transport server

Pickup directory

Store driver dropping then into the submission queue

SCC: single copy cluster

Clustering technology, similar to earlier exchange versions.

Shared data storage

Fiber channel SAN

Internet SCSI SAN
