[ActiveDir] AD printer Auditing and logging

[Jason Yaremchuk]

Hi everyone.   Wondering if anyone has found a nice way to audit print jobs for AD published printers? I have a large group of users and must keep track of what jobs are printed by whom. I couldn’t find any built-in options (I may have missed them) and I looked at a bunch of 3rd party software to monitor and log print jobs. I am using windows 2003 RC2 and was really surprised that of all the print management MS added there was no auditing. What is everyone else doing for print job auditing? Is third party the only way?   Thanks in advance, Jason
