Question : Using GPP to set unique printers for each user on a Terminal Server
I'm trying to use GPP to use GPP for the first time to set printers for each user on a Windows 2003 terminal server. It's working very well for the first user that logs in. I use ILT to define who gets which printers, etc.
However the 2nd users printers replace the first, and the third replace the 1st and 2nd, and so on. In other words, even though this is a user policy (User/Preferences/Control Panel Settings/Printers), it's apply to ALL users on the server. I want each user to have their own unique printers.
I changed each of the many printers in the policy to "Run in logged-on user's secuirty context (user policy option)", but that made no difference.
I have the first of the printers in the policy as a "Delete All" so that I can keep clean and deploy changes as time goes on. But if I didn't have this, then all users would eventually have all printers (as all users have eventually logged on to the terminal server once).
Is there a way to do this PER USER on a terminal server, without affecting other users?
Answer : Using GPP to set unique printers for each user on a Terminal Server
I found that if I used "Shared Printers" rather than "TCP/IP Printer", this problem went away.
