You work as a desktop support technician at a small online company named Domain.com. The Domain.com network contains 7 client computers that are members of a workgroup named Certkiller . There are three Windows XP Professional client computers, two Windows 2000 Professional client computers, and two Windows Millennium Edition (ME) client computers on the Domain.com network.
You attach a printer device named HP_DeskJet to a Windows XP Professional client computer named Certkiller -WS271 and share the print device on the network. All network computers will print to the HP_DeskJet printer as no other printer is installed on any client computer on the network. You ensure that print drivers for all the operating systems used on the Domain.com network are installed.
A few months later you discover that the partition on Certkiller -WS271 on which the printer spool resides is low on free disk space. You install a new hard disk drive on Certkiller -WS271. You want to move the printer spool file for HP_DeskJet to the new hard disk dive.
What should you do?
A.
On Certkiller -WS271, reconfigure the properties of the print server in Printer and Faxes.
B.
On Certkiller -WS271, reconfigure the settings for the Spooler service in Computer Management.
C.
On Certkiller -WS271, reconfigure the properties of the printer in Printer and Faxes.
D.
On Certkiller -WS271, use the Registry Editor to reconfigure the settings for the Spooler service.
Explanation:
To move the spooler file for a printer, you must specify the new location of the printer spool file on the Advance tab of the Server Properties in Printers and Faxes.
The Server Properties can be accessed from the File menu.
Incorrect Answers:
B, C: You cannot configure the printer spool file in Computer Management or on the Printer Properties page. You configure it on the Server Properties page.
D: You should avoid editing the Registry directly. You can reconfigure the printer spool on the Advance tab of the Server Properties in Printers and Faxes and should use that rather than the Registry Editor.
