Re: PushPrinterConnection.exe

The policy is still active and working for about 190 of 200 users on my domain.

rsop.msc confirms that the GPO is a startup script with the correct GPO name etc. ..

Going to run rsop.msc on a couple of my users PCs.

Could one of my Jr. Admins, removed or unlinked the GPO and readded/linked the GPO and this is the result of doing so???

We've been pushing out printers using PushPrinterConnection.exe for over a year now and never had any problem.

It always starts completely unexpected. IT is fun :-)

The past five days now, users are calling because printers aren't mapping.

When I look at ppcMachine.log I see:

.. . . Found Deployed Printer Connection setting \\servername\printername
.. . . There are no connections to remove.
.. . . Deploying per machine connection \\servername\printername
then
.. . . Connection \\servername\printername will be removed
.. . . Removing per machine connection \\servername\printername

Why does it think it has to remove the printers?

Is the policy still active and is getting applied at the machines? What's rsop.msc reporting about that?

cheers,

Florian
