Many thanks.

Relax friend, there is nothing to worry about. DCDIAG just checks for error events in your System Event log. For more details have a look at the errors directly using Event Viewer.

EventID 457 is hexadecimal, the real EventID is 1111, and is related to Terminal Services Devices, and is most likely your printer driver having problems when you log on to the server.
