Guest Lasse Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Hi I don't quit know how to explain my problem, but here goes :-) We/I use Server 2003 R2 and print management to manage the company printers. We deploy all printers through Print Management. As far as I can understand Print Management actually checks for printer changes at every login, if a printer has been removed from Print Management it removes it when the user logs in. My problem is that sometimes some of our users loses all the printers, if I check the log from Print Management I can see that all the printers have been removed because it couldn't find the domain controller, when this happens the users default printer is changed to a local printer, for example Microsoft Document Writer. The part about not finding the domain controller is a bit strange because the users get the login script without any problems, it only the Print Management that fails. This is what ppcUser.log tells me: .... Failed to get the user GPOs. .... No Deployed Printer Connection settings were found in Active Directory. /Lasse
