Environment:
Server: Windows 2003 R2 set as File/Print Server
Clients: Mixed Windows 2000 Professional and XP SP2 (in the proccess of
deploying all XP workstations)
Printers are deployed with Print Management/Group Policy and the
pushprinterconnections.exe script either via computer if the OU is all XP or
by users if it is a mixed XP/2000 OU.
All departments are seperated in their own OU containting both the user and
computer objects for that department. All OU's are at the hierarchy level.
Problem:
One department's printers are being deployed to all OU's including their own
printers. I checked all the deployed printers in every OU's Group Policy and
it only displayed that Departments correct printers. Example would be that
the IT Department is getting their printers and Accountings aswell as the
Front Desk department would be getting their own and Accountings. If I remove
all the printers to be deployed from Front Desk they are still getting
Accounting's printers. If I remove the pushprinterconnection.exe from either
the startup or logon (depending on the OU) and even delete the entire group
policy for that OU Front Desk will still get Accountings printers. I have
refreshed the Group Policy on the clients and rebooted many times with no
success. Even if I delete these printers manually they still show on
startup/login, there for I cannot get rid of them even with no Group Policy
assigned to that OU.
I have searched for a month trying to find a solution or even similar
events, but I have came up short. I would appreciate if someone could give me
some insite or a place to look for an answer. If I left out any important
details, please request and I will provide. Thank you in advance!
