Hello-
This a bit tricky, I have a customer who's server crashed on her today, it
will not logon or allow any workstations to log on. The computer is an old
PIII 800MHz system with a SCSI hard drive, with no CD-RW or DVD-RW drive(s)
or any USB ports on the system. The unit is over 5 years old.
She has data on it, and she is using two huge "Kinko" type printers for her
"Print on Demand" business. She desperately wants to replace the unit and go
with SBS 2003 Server Standard.
My concern is the data she has, and the printer setup.
Is there an easier way to resolve this to the new system? Getting the old
data onto the new Server? Plus, is there any way to get the printers to work
again, or would I have to have her contact those printer manufacturers?
Here's the story, the printers are being printed statically, not USB or
parallel. They are printing from spooler applications on the old server?
Being that the computer gives us an error message in the "Event Log" about
"logon" not working, and "Service Manager" not working, everything is down!
This message pops up when and after you reboot the server. I believe that I
am stuck on this matter.
I am open to give more information if you need it.
Waiting patiently!
