Cluster Spooler Notification Incorrectly Reports Node Name Instead of Virtual Name (258443)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition 4.0
  • Microsoft Cluster Server 1.1
This article was previously published under Q258443

SYMPTOMS

When you use Windows NT 4.0 Enterprise Edition with Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) and you receive a print spooler notification, the notification reports the node name of the print server instead of the virtual name.

CAUSE

MSCS registers clustered printers with the local Spooler service. Because notification is the responsibility of the Spooler service, this behavior occurs.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Windows NT Server Enterprise Edition version 4.0.
