Disabling Windows Printer Mappings

[Guest Alex Anderson]

Hello Everyone,

 

I have TS 5.0 and I know you can disable windows printer mappings however

does this setting apply to mapped printers via login script? The login

script has to run so they get their networked drives, however the printers

(because of the application being used on the TS server) need to be disabled

from being run from the login script since we setup the printers manually on

this TS server instead.

 

Right now the TS server has a check mark next to Windows Printer Mappings,

and I'm assuming it's disabled. I guess I need a clarification what this

setting means and if there's a way to disable printers being mapped over via

login script.

hi,

the settings on TS to disable printer mapping is refer to clients when they

connect to have the local printers mapped or not even theese printers are

shared or not on client.

 

when you use a script to map the printer on login script or they run from a

command line to map printers theese printers have to be shared and users

must have rights to add/install printers.

 

that 2 situations dosent have anything in comun, if you disable printer

mapping on TS and printers are shared on client users can stil map the

printers from login script, command line etc.

What you're saying is that, it will not be possible to disable the printers

being mapped over via login script when a user logs into a TS session?
