user printers are not deleted after disconnecting user

[Guest Jörg Anton]

Hey,

i have installed w2k3-server standard with sp2. it is an memberserver in a

w2k3-domain with terminalservices installed.

 

when user connect to terminal server, user's local printers are created and

ready to work fine. when session ends, printers are deleted only when user

has administrator privilegs. in this cause printerfolder overflows, printers

must be deleted manually by administrator.

On 2nd TS there is no problem with this.

Any ideas? thanks for answers.

I have seen this same problem and do not have a good explaination or

solution for it. Maybe someone will have some ideas. What I do is

everynight I run a script that deletes all printers on the server.

RE: user printers are not deleted after disconnecting user

 

Hello,

 

Thank you for your posting.

 

I suggest you perform the following steps to check the permissions on some

registry keys. If they are inappropriate, the redirected printers cannot be

deleted.

 

1. On the server, click Start -> Run, type "regedit" in the text box, and

click OK.

2. avigate to

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers].

3. ight click the Printers node, select Security -> Permissions on the

menu.

4. lick Advanced button to make sure that Administrator, Creator Owner and

System has Full Control permission on the node, Users and TERMINAL SERVER

USER has Read permission.

5. Select the redirected TS Printer under the Printers key, delete the

registry keys.

6. Repeat the above steps to check the permission on the

[KLM\Software\Microsoft\windowsNT\CURRENTVERSION\print\printer] registry

value.

7. On the client, click Start -> Run, type "regedit" in the text box, and

click OK.

8. Locate the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server

Client\Default\AddIns\RDPDR] registry key, right click this key, and click

Permissions.

9. Ensure that Administrators, SYSTEM, and your own account have Full

Control permission on this registry key. As a test, you may grant Everyone

with Full Control permission to check whether this issue continues.

10. Delete the subkeys for the previously cached redirected printers in the

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server

Client\Default\AddIns\RDPDR] registry key, and then test this problem again.

 

Hope this helps.
