I have developed a simple win 32 service in delphi 7 which performs some print operations. All works fine on our XP machines, but fails on the target Windows 2008 standard server . When I put a try except block around the print statement, it results in the "Printer Selected is not valid" error.

Only when I try to perform a print (on any printer local and network), it fails. Based on lot of research using google, I found quite a few suggestions to

I have a task that needs to run every 30 seconds. I can do one of two things: Write a command line app that runs the task once, waits 30 seconds, runs it again and then exits. I can schedule this task with Scheduled Tasks in Windows to run every minute Write a Service that runs a task repeatedly while waiting 30 seconds in between each run.

I have a PHP app running on Windows 2008 server R2, which authenticates users against Active Directory using PHP's LDAP library. As per this answer , I'm looking to use $_SERVER['AUTH_USER'] , but I'm getting a blank value for it. Same for AUTH_TYPE and AUTH_PASSWORD . The variables are declared, but none of them have any value assigned to them.
