Guest Steven Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Hello MVP's! Currently all users printers are rolling into their TS sessions successfully however I would like only there default to role in and stay selected as there default printer. Right now it brings in too many and the default keeps changing. -- Steve

Guest Steven Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Re: Default Printer Hi Vera, Thank you for your quick response and article. However I do have some questions. The article refers to a hotfix and then a registry change. Is the hotfix roled into the latest service pack or do I call MS for that, article a little confusing on that part. Second, I'm looking at pushing this out large scale, I can do the registry change via GPO but hopeing I can do with hotfix, msi, exe; any ideas? Lastly, I checked 4 TS's and 4 clients with latest service packs and the registry subkeys / path is not found, or at least the last part \default\addins\rdpdr so I'm wondering if the hkeys are added with the hotfix. The artcle indicates that they should already be there accept the DWORD of course. Hope this makes sense and thank you fo ryour help. -- Steve "Vera Noest [MVP]" wrote: > This should help: > > 911913 - How to redirect the default printer of a Terminal Services > client to a Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server session > http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=911913 > > _________________________________________________________ > Vera Noest > MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server > TS troubleshooting: http://ts.veranoest.net > ___ please respond in newsgroup, NOT by private email ___ > > =?Utf-8?B?U3RldmVu?= <Steven@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote on > 26 jul 2007 in microsoft.public.windows.terminal_services: > > > Hello MVP's! > > > > Currently all users printers are rolling into their TS sessions > > successfully however I would like only there default to role in > > and stay selected as there default printer.

Guest Vera Noest [MVP] Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Re: Default Printer The hotfix seems to consist of the newest rdp client, version 6.0 So you can just as well install that through Windows Update. The registry value must be added on the *client*, not on the Terminal Server. I've checked a couple of clients, and I don't have the whole registry path either in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, but it's there in HKEY_CURRENT_USER. As the article says, you can create the RedirectDefaultPrinterOnly value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or in HKEY_CURRENT_USER, whatever suits you best. If you want to configure this for the client, not for specific users of the client, then you just create the complete path to the registry key. If you import the value into the registry from a .reg file, the complete path is automatically created. 310516 - HOW TO: Add, Modify, or Delete Registry Subkeys and Values by Using a Registration Entries (.reg) File http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=310516 _________________________________________________________ Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server TS troubleshooting: http://ts.veranoest.net *----------- Please reply in newsgroup -------------* =?Utf-8?B?U3RldmVu?= <Steven@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote on 27 jul 2007: > Hi Vera, > > Thank you for your quick response and article.
