Print Spooler keeps refreshing, spoolsv.exe causing high CPU usage

One of my print server started to behave weird. When I've tried to open Printers and Faxes on my Print Server that uses Windows 2003 Server, I was unable to make any changes to installed printers, since the printers and faxes page is constantly refreshing.

During this refresh, print spooler was normally working, it was not restarting.

I have tried to restart the print spooler and the print server, but without luck. I am also not sure when this started happening, although I thought it could be related to a faulty print driver installed by someone from my colleagues.

DHCP Superscope keeps reappearing issue

We have one DHCP server with configured Superscope that contains 15 scopes.
As we had some DHCP issues in our VLAN environment, we had to remove all 15 scopes from the superscope. When the last scope was removed from the Superscope, superscope was deleted automatically.

Now, everything is working fine, but after the DHCP server or service is restarted, users complained that they still experience that 'old' DHCP issues when physically changing VLAN's. More HERE.

SCCM 2007 client certificate issues with 2008 R2 CA

Microsoft supports running SCCM 2007 SP2 on a 2008 R2 server, but I’m doubting whether or not running SCCM 2007 SP2 in Native mode in an environment using a 2008 R2 CA is supported (and if so, there’s an issue to be aware of).  Specifically, it seems like client certificates created with a 2008 R2 CA (following the instructions on Technet for a 2008 CA) do not work by default in SCCM 2007 when running a site in Native mode (you’ll get MP errors stating that it cannot connect via HTTP, and mpcontrol.log will contain errors that the SAN2 fields have errors).
