Printer Drivers Setup Makes Server Appear To Be Hung

ID: Q187404

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0, Terminal Server Edition

SUMMARY

SYMPTOMS

During the GUI portion of the Terminal Server setup, more than 900 printer drivers may be installed on the system. It can take a significant amount of time for the setup program to compute the set of drivers that must be loaded. This can have the affect of making the server appear as if it has locked up.

CAUSE

The Setup program uses a link list to manage the list of printer drivers in memory.
