I did no see a WTH category to put this in.
Just an FYI that belongs here by importance compared to the system category.
After installing Windows 7 Utlimate 32 bit and doing updates using WSUS offline updates with service pack updates rather than individual updates.
Failed was using making commands NET USE LPT1, and LPT2 and LPT3 work.
I never saw this act this way.
I had added LPT4 to LPT9 using a reg file and it is standard that I add these to all machines.
The ports could be seen in printer properties under the ports tab.
What finally made it work was removing the Ports by way of the registry.
I did a practice on other Windows 7 pro machines, non Ultimate and I was able to make redirected attachments.
Before under Windows xp. You could only do this for ports listed and if the actual port did not exist on the computer or you renowned the port or disabled the port in device manager.
I have seen others have issues with redirect of ports in this forum and wonder if this problem is what was causing their problem.
Without further testing to this point. It looks like I will be removing all LPT and COM ports from printer ports.
I have other machines with Ultimate 7 on them but not an current uodate as turn updates off after a machine is running.
Also I found my other problem with Trusted Zones. Yep, windows update broke that.
