Default printer in term session keeps changing

[Guest pearce]

I'm working with users who login to a 2003 TS and connect their local

printers and see printers from the server. When they login their local

default is mapped as default in their session. When another user logs in at

a different office the default printer for the first user will change. They

are in the habit of resetting their default over and over again, but I'm

hoping we can do better than that. I'm told this is a known issue, but I'm

looking for a straightforward way around this.

Re: Default printer in term session keeps changing

 

Sounds like the users are logging in with a shared account, or at

least a shared profile. If so, this behaviour is by design.

Remedy: make sure that all users have a unique user account and TS

profile. Also make sure that they don't have more than just User

privileges.
