SYMPTOMS
========
When you try to add or delete printer ports on a remote Microsoft Windows NT
Server 4.0-based print server, you cannot do so.
CAUSE
=====
This behavior is by design.
RESOLUTION
==========
To add, delete, or configure printer ports, you must administer the print server
locally.
To work around this issue, use local administration of the print server to add,
delete, or configure printer ports.
NOTE: To perform remote administration of a print server, you can either use a
third-party utility or create a utility by using the AddPort application
programming interface (API) function included in the Microsoft Win32 Software
Development Kit.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Local administration of a print server is explained on page 193 of Concepts and
Planning, which is part of the documentation for Microsoft Windows NT Server
4.0.
