I am interested to find out if any of the list members with large numbers of printers spread across geographically diverse areas would care to share any of their methods of mapping the printers to users? I'm running a XenApp environment so obviously printers that are auto-deployed via some method to RDS users would be of most interest. I am trying to decide between using AppSense, Group Policy Preferences, Group Policy Objects, Citrix Policy or a scripted method (could be PowerShell, VB, batch, depending on my mood) or even a combination of these. The onus is on delivering printers quickly, and via a method that can map the correct printers to *every *remote site using just the one procedure. I am using Windows 2008 R2 for both the published desktops and the printer server.
If further info is required please ask, I am just trying to get a feel for any of the solutions people have had good experiences with, as I want to try and get this running smoothly first time. As an aside, does anyone find any issues deploying printers to Windows 2008 servers with UAC disabled? We are seeing a lot of weird errors such as "print processor not found" when mapping to printers manually and I am wondering if it is a UAC thing. I have the elevation prompts for drivers disabled via GPO.
