Nope. No GPOs that I’m aware of, and I was here when the contractor built the 
domain for us, so I think I’d know. J The user’s start menu looks different 
when she’s a member of the local admin group than when she’s just a power user 
too. The admin has the “old style” start menu and the power user has the “new” 
style Windows XP start menu. Which is really weird. It’s almost like she’s got 
two different profiles, one for admin and one for power user, but I watched her 
log in and it’s the same username/password both times.

Do you have a GPO in place that would remove the printer?

Well, we’ve got it shared off our DC, so I was trying to do it that way. Hmm… 
guess I could redirect LPT2 (it’s already pointing lpt1 to another printer 
hooked up to a PC) and point it at that.

Have you tried to setup the printer and point it to LPT1: and then redirect it 
to the IP of the printer?

Ok, I have a user who is currently an admin on her box. She normally prints to 
a network printer, but for some reason, if I take her out of the local admins 
group, it will remove the network printer from her machine and disallow her 
adding it back. But if I add her back to the local admins group next time she 
logs back in, the network printer is there and is the default again.

 

What’s going on and how do I fix it? I’m trying to keep from having every user 
be a local admin, but apparently if they’re going to print to a network 
printer, they’re going to have to be. At least that’s what it seems like…. Do I 
need to do anything special to give her access to the network printer w/o 
making her a local admin?

 

Thanks!
