Tracking Windows print jobs; Keeping the Exchange server running

* Tracking Windows print jobs

By Steve Blass

Q: Is there a way to track and audit Windows printing jobs so we can tell who printed what document and when?

A: Yes, if your workstations all print through server-hosted shared printers, you can turn on Windows auditing and track when something is printed by enabling the Audit object access events policy.

* Keeping the Exchange server running

By Ron Nutter

Q: I recently took over running the Exchange server for my company. I have had experience running Exchange 5.5 but this is 2000 and things are a little different from what I am used to. What can you suggest about keeping things running smoothly?

A: Look at your local bookstore and see what books they have on Exchange 2000. Although Exchange 2003 is out now, you should still be able to find books on its 2000 counterpart. I would start by documenting the current configuration of the server as soon as you are comfortable with moving around Exchange Administrator and the other utilities you use as a part of keeping an Exchange server running.
