I use AD security groups with the printer name and whether it is default. So a group name might be PRINTER1 - Default. The computer accounts that need printer 1 as the default are put in that group.
Then use a user GPP that checks if the computer is a member of that group to map the printer. From: Kelsey, John [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, 16 September 2010 3:02 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Deploying Printers via GPO Good afternoon all, Currently in a 08 domain with all XP workstations SP3 and GPO extensions installed. I need to deploy printers based on the machine and not the user. I see I can deploy printers to computers through a GPO, BUT you can't set the default printer that way. It looks like I can deploy the printers to the user, then use 'item-level targeting' so it applies only when users logon to computers in certain OU's. Is there a better way to skin this cat? Should I make a printer policy per OU, or make 1 global one with all the printers and assign them with the item-level targeting? Thanks all!! ************************************* John C.
