W2K3 automatically discovers Vista printers


Recommended Posts

Hi All

 

Windows Server 2003

 

I have just put the first Vista (Ulitmate) workstation on to the domain.

Installed all the domain printers.

 

When I logged into the Server I noticed that in the printers folder all the

Vista workstation printers had automatically been discovered and installed.

eg. "Brother HL-5130 series on florence (from SHARON) in session 1" and

also made it the default printer for the server. I need to be able to stop

this from happening or when we get many Vista works it will be crazy in the

print folder. This does not happen with any Win XP workstation.

 

Vista networking setup:

Network Discovery ON

File Sharing ON

Public Folder Sharing OFF

Printer Sharing OFF

Media Sharing OFF

 

Can anybody help to stop this problem, please

 

Thanks in advance
