Windows 2003 R2: Printer push via printerpushconnections.exe Isuus

[Guest wcada]

Environment:

 

 

 

Server: Windows 2003 R2 set as File/Print Server

 

Clients: Mixed Windows 2000 Professional and XP SP2 (in the proccess of

deploying all XP workstations)

 

 

 

Printers are deployed with Print Management/Group Policy and the

pushprinterconnections.exe script either via computer if the OU is all XP or

by users if it is a mixed XP/2000 OU.

 

 

 

All departments are seperated in their own OU containting both the user and

computer objects for that department. All OU's are at the hierarchy level.

 

 

 

 

 

Problem:

 

 

 

One department's printers are being deployed to all OU's including their own

printers. I checked all the deployed printers in every OU's Group Policy and

it only displayed that Departments correct printers. Example would be that

the IT Department is getting their printers and Accountings aswell as the

Front Desk department would be getting their own and Accountings. If I remove

all the printers to be deployed from Front Desk they are still getting

Accounting's printers. If I remove the pushprinterconnection.exe from either

the startup or logon (depending on the OU) and even delete the entire group

policy for that OU Front Desk will still get Accountings printers. I have

refreshed the Group Policy on the clients and rebooted many times with no

success. Even if I delete these printers manually they still show on

startup/login, there for I cannot get rid of them even with no Group Policy

assigned to that OU.

 

 

 

I have searched for a month trying to find a solution or even similar

events, but I have came up short. I would appreciate if someone could give me

some insite or a place to look for an answer. If I left out any important

details, please request and I will provide. Thank you in advance!
