Disabling local printers

[Guest Uwe]

Hello,

 

We want to disable the local printers on our Terminal Servers, so

users wont have to remember disabling the settings in their

connections.

 

I did not find any settings in the terminal-services configuration for

that.

Is this possible at all in TS on Windows 2003 Server.

 

I hope somebody can help me with that!

Thank you!

 

Regards,

Uwe

Re: Disabling local printers

 

You can disable redirection of client printers in several places:

 

* in Terminal Services Configuration - Rdp-tcp connection -

properties - Client Settings

Disable the following: Windows printer mapping

 

* in a Group Policy, which is linked to the OU which contains the

Terminal Server machine account:

 

Computer Configuration - Administrative templates - Windows

Components - Terminal Services - Client/Server data redirection

"Do not allow client printer redirection"
