Guest David Griffiths Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 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 -- David Griffiths
