Print Management
Print Management is an updated Microsoft Management Console (MMC)
snap-in that you can use to view and manage printers and print servers in your
organization. You can use Print Management from any computer running
Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 x64 Edition with SP2, and you can manage
all network printers on print servers running Windows 2000 Server, Windows
Server 2003, Windows Storage Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, or
Windows Storage Server 2003 R2.
Print Management provides details such as the queue status, printer name,
driver name, and server name. You can also set custom views by using the
Print Management filtering capability. For example, you can create a view
that displays only printers in a particular error state. You can also configure
Print Management to send e-mail notifications or run scripts when a printer
or print server needs attention. The filtering capability also allows you to edit
print jobs in bulk, such as canceling all print jobs at once. You can also delete
multiple printers at the same time.
Administrators can install printers remotely by using the automatic detect
feature, which locates and installs printers on the local subnet to the local
print server. Administrators can log on to a local server at a branch location by
using Remote Desktop and then easily install printers remotely.
Microsoft Services for Network File System
Microsoft Services for Network File System (NFS) is an operating-system
component that provides a file-sharing solution for enterprises with a mixed
Windows and UNIX environment. Microsoft Services for NFS allows users of
UNIX-based computers to store and access files on your operating system
using the Network File System (NFS) protocol. All of your UNIX clients can
access the resources using the NFS protocol with no changes required.
