SYMPTOMS
If you look at the private properties of a cluster spooler resource from a command prompt, you see a parameter of ClusterDriverDirectory with a value of PrintDrivers. If you try to change this value, it appears to change successfully, but the next time you bring the spooler resource online, it reverts to a value of PrintDrivers.



CAUSE
This behavior may occur if you must name the folder on the shared cluster disk as &quot;PrintDrivers&quot;. If the value changes while the spooler resource is offline and the spooler resource is deleted, the clean-up of the shared disk does not occur, and the PrintDrivers folder is not deleted.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
PrintDrivers is a fixed folder on the shared cluster disk where printer drivers are stored. To view this folder, run the CLUSTER RES %SPOOLER_RESOURCE_NAME% /PRIV command from one of the cluster nodes.
