You do not have sufficient access to your computer to connect to the selected printer

[Guest altior]

Hi

We a Windows 2003 sp1 server which is a TS server and a backup dc.

When a user logs in they get the default printers that are loaded

through the group policy fine. If they want to add a network printer it

gives this error "You do not have sufficient access to your computer to

connect to the selected printer". I read these solution from Microsoft

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/259937/en-us but there are no local

policies on a DC and it even says in the article I shouldn't get this

error but I am.

I have checked the printer permissions and nothing unusual there.

If the user logs in from their normal pc they can add/remove so it

doesn't seem to be anything in the user account.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Jared

Hello altior,

 

Security settings on a DC are mostly higher then normal workstations, which

is good. You shouldn't use a DC as a Terminal server, so that you do not

have to lower the security on it to get users working. And as i said before,

use a member server for TS functionality.

 

Best regards

- Check the Default Domain Policy

- Check the Default Domain Controller Policy

- For the long run: get yourself another server and install TS on the

new server. Remove the TS role from the second DC. IT ain't good having

people logging on to a DC - even through TS.

 

cheers,

Thanks for the replies they lead me to the answer:

 

In the Default Domain Controller Policy - allow users to add printer

drivers - which is set to denied on servers by default. I changed it and

everyting works great now.

Hello altior,

 

Thanks for the feedback. BUT really think about the separate server to TS.

 

Best regards
