ISSUE: This utility was created to resolve the error messages that come up when an administrator tries to load PSERVER.NLM: "PSERVER-4.10-214: The print server was unable to login to server specified in the print server's Directory Services (DS) attribute list as the host device. Warning, the job audit logging feature may not function properly. Program execution may not continue normally." PSERVER-4.10-29: A host device was not specified in the print server's Directory Services attribute list, the print server will attempt to use the local server as a host device. Warning, the job audit logging feature may not function properly. Program execution may not continue normally. One of these errors will be displayed if the server that the host device attribute of the print server is set to is not available or does not respond. This utility has been written to change the host device attribute of the print server to a different server. Previous to this utility the only way to eliminate the above errors was to delete the print server and recreate while only attached to the desired server.
