Hi,
I am having an issue with printer share duplication on my 2012R2 RDS.
Environment:
2012 Server with 40 Printer shares & running Print Services/Manager.
RDS 2012R2 Server with 25 Users.
Printers are Deployed Via Print services (PushPrinterConnections.exe)
No Printers are installed locally
I know for sure that I do not have any duplication in my Printer GPOs; I have gone over them from top to bottom multiple times. When I delete the duplicated printers the next time a user logs in they come right back. All duplicated printers are showing up for all users, even the administrator account that does not have any Printer GPOs applied to it.
I have tried to map the printers directly via GPO and receive the same result. I have deleted the inactive TS Printer ports in registry. I have cleaned up the Printer connections in HKU\GUID\Printers\Connections. I have tried various driver versions. I have re-shared the printers as a different name.
Most of the time (90%) the issues are with HP MF400 series printers but I see it with Dell and RICOH printers as well.
I'm not seeing any errors at all in my event viewer...
Any Ideas? My thanks in advance!
