Net stop spooler access is denied

I"m having domajor wide issues via clients not being able to print due to print spooler sub system errors on start up. When I try to manually start the spooler it starts for a 2nd and also then stops. if i try with a command prompt I get "System error 5 has actually emerged Access denied"

Our print server is WS2K3, I"m in the process of structure a 2012 print server to relocation it.

You watching: Net stop spooler access is denied

I have actually trawled the forums and tried the following:

- after providing "everyone" accessibility to the magazine I delete files in the C:WindowsSystem32spoolprinters & motorists folders and also tried to install network printers.

- repairing the windows install

At first this concern influenced everyone yet Win xp users seem to have actually reextended. WIn7 users still have actually the issue.

cheers

Brad

If they are erected to usage a print server I am not sure why they would be having actually local spooler concerns as print obs need to be spooled on the server itself. Are these global print chauffeurs per chance? Check the print spooler on the server and also the folder spoolprinters on the server to check out if it is empty and also if the spooler is quit.

Have any type of printers been deleted recently?

What kind of printers and also vehicle drivers are you using? We are a complete HP environment(for printers) and the generic HP drivers provided us all kinds of troubles as soon as we were making the adjust over. We were making use of certain vehicle drivers for XP and also installed generic for win 7. attempt this one one machine and see if it works

Open a command prompt with right-click and use the "Run as Administrator" alternative.

Use sfc to restore the correct variation of spoolsv.exe, "sfc /scannow".

Start the Spooler organization to confirm it works and also set it to begin automatically.

See more: Automatically Windows Powershell Opens On Its Own : Techsupport

Open a Windows Explorer with right-click and use the "Run as Administrator" option.

Navigate to the WindowsSystem32 folder, right-click spoolsv.exe and also select the properties alternative.

Tick the Read Only checkbox and also click OK.

Copy the spoolsv.exe file to the desktop computer for great measure.

Reboot.

net speak spooler

delete c:windowssystem32spoolchauffeurs folder (just drivers)

net start spooler

the folder will be redeveloped. If you are still having problems, I would certainly inspect that the print server is not handing dvery own bad motorists.

if it is handing down poor chauffeurs then delete the printers. if you cannot delete the printers, quickly begin the Spooler service and easily attempt to rerelocate the printer, you have actually about 2.5 seconds before spooler bombs out again (the printer will certainly then gray out and you cannot rerelocate, unless spooler is actually running)

It"s unmost likely driver worries leading to spooler worries. If it"s widespreview to a specific OS, it"s a lot of likely an update. See what windows updays have actually gone via and also view what you may have to roll earlier.

Hi Galen 

Sorry mate I need to have stated that while the regional spooler isn"t running there are no printers visible to delete.

A.J - I"m thinking windows updays also. I"m simply structure a fresh win7 box so I can test it with no updates mounted.

907Jon - still running the sfc... fingers crossed :-)

I think it"s a windows upday mixed via one of our Sharp MFC. The fresh build 7 machine is fine until I run updates and then it has the exact same problem. I tried reinstalling windows and also not installing the sharp MFC and I had the ability to install all updates and still install printers.

I"ll do some even more digging tomoz. Thanks so much for your assist guys! I"ll store you posted

It absolutely would appear you have narrowed dvery own what the issue is even if not the actual reason of it. Look at the updays that were run that led to it to stop functioning. Then just dig with each one"s KB (hopefully it"s just a few) and see if you have the right to gather any kind of clues. Just a thought.
