Required...then error box "The Server is not configured
for transactions." This error just started after
installing service pack 4. I removed sp4 and still get the
same response. No network user can print to network
printers.

Thanks,

Rick

Hey rick -

I just ran into the same problem myself. Here is how I fixed it (it
took a bit to find this solution - I don't know if theres an easier
way, but this is pretty easy so here goes!)

1) Get a dos prompt in win2k by going start-run--->command

(type the word command into the run line)

2) Type "net share" in the prompt (without the quotes - with the
space)

3) The above command will list all of the shared folders - there needs
to be a share called IPC$ in there --- if not, this is the problem.

4)For any computers that do not have IPC$ as a share listed - type the
following command in the dos prompt "net share IPC$" - without the
quotes, with the spaces.

5)You shouldn't even need to reboot - just check all of the computers
in the network for the IPC$ share as per the above instructions and
VIOLLA! You should be golden.

I hope this works out for you!
