Why are all networking
printers listed on XP workstations
A: I've noticed this on
only a few machines...the few that I've used the connect computer tool to
join to the domain. All of the AD printers are listed, so i delete all the
printers that this machine doesn't need, but after a reboot they come back.
Is there a way to make it so with connect computer all the printers don't
get added and they don't keep re-appearing?
Q1: Double Click My
Computer > Tools > Folder Options > View
Remove the Tick from "Automatically Search for Network folders and Printers"
Q2: Because that's what
the default action for the SBS client deployment tools
is.
Use the SBS Management Console and select Computers. Select the relevant
machines, right-click and choose "Assign Applications". Under Advanced,
you'll find a tick box for installing the printers. While it remains
ticked, the printers will be installed each time a user logs on.
