Hello and thanks for your reply.
I was unclear, the error message only appears on our Windows XP pro clients.

"A policy is in effect on your computer which prevents you from connecting

Win2k or Server2003 DCs?

I have checked the default settings on my server 2003 and XP client. On
both
of them the settings are "not configured". I have tried settings "prevent
users from installing printer drivers" to disabled on the server and
"point
and print restrictions" to disabled to allow connecting to any server. I
still get the sam message (GPO has bee refreshed by restarting XP
clients).

Win2k is not affected by either policy.
On Server 2003 launch secpol.msc
Security Options / Devices: Prevent users from installing printers
drivers
(default is enabled on Server, default on XP is enabled)
On XP
launch gpedit.msc
User Configuration / Administrative Templates / Control Panel / Printers
/
Point and Print Restrictions
This policy setting restricts the servers that a client can connect to
for
point and print. The policy setting applies only to non Print
Administrators
clients, and only to machines that are members of a domain.
When the policy setting is enabled, the client can be restricted to only
point and print to a server within its own forest, and/or to a list of
explicitly trusted servers.
When the policy setting is not-configured, it defaults to allowing point
and
print only within the client's forest.
When the policy setting is disabled, client machines can point and print
to
any server.

Hello and thanks for your reply.
I have checked all policy setting regarding printers in the domain
default
as well as my own policy and can´t find anything to set this straight.
What
setting should I use to override the xp default policy?
I´m running server 2003 SP1, XP SP2 and W2K SP4.

There is a security policy of Server that prevents driver addition for
users.
There is a local policy on the XP SP2 machines preventing connections
to
machines in non trusted domains. You can override this with a domain
policy.
You should not have any problem with Win2k clients.
What OS are the domain controllers running? Are the XP clients
running
SP1
or SP2?

I have a 2003 server as a printserver, with a printer shared.
When users try to add the printer the receive a message saying
either
"You
do not have sufficient security privileges to install hardware on
this
computer. Please contact your site Administrator, or logout and log
in
again
as an administrator and try again. " (WINXP clients) or "A policy is
in
effect on your computer which prevents you from connecting to this
queue. Please contact your system administrator. " (WIN2K).
There is no GPO setting preventing them from installing drivers or
adding
printers etc. What can I do?
