I upgraded a remote server a couple of days ago. I set this server as a DC,
GC, WINS, Secondary DNS, DHCP, and Print Server and added it to the proper
Site under AD Sites and Services.

Today when a person attempts to print they receive a message indicating he
could not access the printer. We tried removing then adding the printer back
and received a message saying did not have permissions to connect. If we add
him to the local admins group of the workstation, he is then able to add the
printer and print. This has only happened to two people; one on XP and one
on NT.

It obviously appears to be a permissions issue but I've checked all of the
standard stuff on the printer and the user account. Is there somewhere else
I need to check? For a test we had another standard user attempt to add the
printer and they did it successfully with no changes.

I am concerned that this problem may expand to other users. Any help would
be appreciated.
