Thanks. You should see what our fiscal dept prints monthly. Those folks are nutters and don't need any outside help..........
>>> Ken Schaefer <[email protected]> 5/19/2009 8:57 AM >>> If you don’t want users to get a username/password prompt *and* they don’t have accounts in your directory then you’ll have to enable anonymous access. But obviously you run the risk that some nutter that gains access to your network decides to print a 1,000,000+ page document.

Yes, the printer is a standard shared/listed in directory printer in AD Server 2008. I don't want our guests to get the user name/password prompt. The only permission I see that might have worked, but didn't, was "anonymous user". >>> Ken Schaefer <[email protected]> 5/18/2009 6:57 PM >>> Do you mean connecting to \\servername\share ( file://servername/share )? That works regardless of whether you have AD or not. If you are talking about printers that are published into AD by a print server, all that is created is a printQueue object (you can view these easily using ADSIEdit or similar) that points the client to \\servername\share ( file://servername/share ) Cheers Ken From:Tom Miller [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, 19 May 2009 6:19 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Connect to AD printers outside AD? Hi Folks, Is it possible to connect to an AD printer, using the AD share name, when the user does not have an account in AD? I would like to allow our visitors to easily connect to printers near our conference rooms. I know they can connect with IP direct, but the path is easier for most users.
