 |
|
Hi
I have been asking this over in the group policy group without much luck, so
I thought I would give this a try over here as it has higher traffic levels.
Basically I have some printers deployed using the Windows 2003 R2 printer
deployment system to XP clients, when I move a client out of an OU the
printers linked to it aren't being removed.
Thanks for the link, did you ever get a resolution (or for that matter a
workaround).
Looks like a simalar symptom as tests 3/4, but this time I am removing the
accounts from the OU the GPO is linked to rather than applying security
filtering (which in my experiance can be a bit of a pain at the best of times)
Yesterday I resorted to a unsatisfactory method of fixing it when I had a
driver issue, when I unlinked the printer from the policy, rebooted and it
removed it but that isn't much good in a production enviroment where several
computers are linked to a single policy - I want to be able to move a
computer out of a OU and the printers linked to that GPO/OU be removed, at
present if I move a computer from one office to another it is a reimage job
to remove the deployed printers, if I take a machine from the OU Ely to the
OU March, I want it to stop applying GPO Ely and start applying GPO March,
instead at the moment it applys both the Ely and March GPOs.
I can't anyway of manaually cleaning up theses extranious deployed printers
or where ppc.exe it is picking up the list of GPOs to process.
Kind regards

Hi, hopefully this is the most appropriate group - otherwise shove me in
the
right direction!
I have happily been deploying printers to workstations on a machine basis
using group policy under 2003 R2 and pushprinterconnections.exe, it will
add
printers ok to machine ok but I have hit a snag when removing them - below
is
an extract of what it is logging
It would appear from this that it is still finding and applying the GPO
March Printers despite the fact the machine is no longer in the OU linked
to
it; I have tried forcing GP refreshes to no avail in the hope that this
would
sort.
It is a bit of a pain as the only way I can remove printers is using
System
Restore and restoring to a point before the printers were originally
deployed!!! At present I have machines with printers that are totally
inappropriated for the location they are in and users compaining as their
print jobs end up on printer 30 miles away. Alterantively is there anyway
of
removing them manually as just deleting them they regenerate at next
logging,
I am considering a move to using a scripting at login as a solution if I
would get rid of them for good (although this isn't my prefered option)
Help....
Many thanks
Christopher Haydon
