Guest TVITBRIAN Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 Okay here's a run down of the situation. Got a Server 2003 domain. Got 3 servers, 2 are domain controllers. One of the domain controllers runs Server 2003 Standard SP2 the other R2. The one running Standard lets call "labserver" the one running r2 lets call "server2003". labserver shares out all the printers. Server2003 pushes the printers to the machines via group policy and print management(feature of R2). This is a school. There are several labs. All the students use a mandatory profile. All the lab machines are cloned exactly alike. Here's my problem. Sometimes when the students try to print it says that the printers aren't installed correctly. Basically that there isn't a driver installed for the printer. Even though it's being pushed VIA startup with group policy. But here's the kicker, it doesn't happen to every student. Just random ones at random times. Everyone will be able to print just fine for days and then all of a sudden printing problems. Does anyone have any ideas? Please help.
