RE: [ActiveDir] Why not browsing - was Multihomed Domain Controllers

[Laura A. Robinson]

With the Print Management Console that was introduced with Win2K3 R2, managing printers is *significantly* easier and ACLing them appropriately becomes a more realistic task. It's also now downloadable separately from R2 and will run on Win2K3 SP1+.   http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=83066ddc-bc96-4418-a629-48c8abd2c7a0&displaylang=en   Laura     The second is to publish resources in Active Directory. This is fairly common for printers though more and more I seem to be seeing people just sticking a sign up on local printers with the queue name and DNS name to avoid someone moron from accidently picking a printer somewhere he shouldn't be printing and sending some huge print job to it. Or even worse, purposely looking for printers with capabilties they want but not really a printer they should be able to use so in order to stop them you have to start ACLing the printers which can be a pain to manage - an example here would be giant plotters capable of doing wall sized plots or really nice die transfer printers or high high end color laser printers.
