RDS printing best practices

hello everybody, we have rds farm of 10+ hosts being used several locations in north america. each location has own printers of course on site need use. printers wide variety of ricoh, hp , several label printer models.  at moment use following approach provide printing our rds environment: -each location has own virtual print server located in same data-center as rds farm site location local printers installed on them -printer drivers on place, outdated, using universal drivers, manufacturers drivers -printers mapped at log on trough group policy, not logon script we see issues on our rds farm, there following: -hung logons, meaning users see message "loading group policy printers..." , never finish -spoolsv.exe growing exponentially (seen 32gb) memory use -server crash -print spooler crashes my question if there best practices on following: -what type of print server use (only one, 1 per location, virtual, physical, print cluster) -what print

Embed Excel Object in Word as relative, not absolute

i've seen numerous similar threads, can't seem find solution problem: we have many word documents embed objects excel documents. excel documents referenced in same folder word document. all of these files on network drive. time time, these files moved 1 server - creates huge problem, if name of networkshare changes. not take forever open word document because it's looking excel files in path doesn't exist, also, once open, have relink objects. is there way force links relative (ie if in same folder word doc, have no path, file name) , not change? thanks in advance! basically, can't. word's excel links require link fields. link fields use absolute addressing and, unlike other referencing fields, can't embed other fields within them create relative path. workaround use macro, check out solution i've posted at: http://windowssecrets.com/forums/showthread.php/154379-word-fields-and-relative-paths-to-external-files cheers paul edstein
