sorry I misread that. whos is your ISP?

have you flushed the dns cache

take a look at the Domain level

Is this a domain that was built on Server 2008 R2 fresh or has it been upgraded and built on over time. How many Domain controllers do you have

try changing the "wait for network setting" via the gpo. SOmetimes the client actually runs faster then the policies are able to

I have registered Movember United Kingdom - Home Is there an EG group I can join?

Novatech 150Mbps Micro Wireless USB Adapter | NOV-USBNM great little cards which avoid snagging etc

If you want direct support you would need to opt out of LA support and enter a direct contract with Capita,

The spec for Discover did seem very high and specific, however in our experience it should run on a lower hardware range than Capita state. The best advise I can give is to try with either onboard graphics or lower processor and you may find it will be fine.

take the strcomputer line and all below out. and then run to check that it creates and maps the printer

Option Explicit Dim objNetwork, strUNCPrinter strUNCPrinter = "\\server_name\printer_share" Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network") objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection strUNCPrinter strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colInstalledPrinters = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select * from Win32_Printer where DeviceID = 'Microsoft Office Document Image Writer'") For Each objPrinter in colInstalledPrinters objPrinter.Delete_ Next Set colInstalledPrinters = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select * from Win32_Printer where DeviceID = 'Microsoft XPS Document Writer'") For Each objPrinter in colInstalledPrinters objPrinter.Delete_ next WScript.Quit ' End of Windows printer script. This works for me and it removes the MS Office and XPS image printers

can you connect to the share manually? check that the name of the share is the same in the vbs. Maybe post the vbs here and see if anyone can see a problem. what server os and what XP bit level

I would seriously look at client side preferences. failing this you could use a VBS to map printers by group membership

Has the copier been configured to use copier codes?

go onto the server and run IP scanner

which version of .net SIMS must have the extended version

proxy server

Roll on the new iARM

Finally the highways agency tells us what we need to know

Last time I tried........

What happens if you try this net use R: \\sims2006\sharename /user:sims2006\admin password /persistent:yes

So I assume that you have a user created on that domain called"admin" have you tried to mapp using sims2006\admin Equally you might need to check both the share permissions and the security permissions on that drive

what is the name of the domain that the sims server is part of?

try using the ip address\name

WIll need a Kittythough as I don't fancy doing rounds.....
