Re: Change the default Printer

Hello Customer,

Thank you for posting here.

From your post, I understand that you installed a local printer and set it
as the default printer for the clients. However, after a reboot, the
default printer is changed back to the network printer.

From a SBS 2003 point of view, if the server has a network printer
attached, it will be added to the client computer and set as the default
printer. The network printer name \\%sbsserver%\%SharedPrinterName%
(REG_DWORD) is added to
HKCU\Software\Micrsoft\SmallBusinessServer\ClientSetup\Printers on the
workstations.

1. The behavior can be disabled for a single user by setting
HKCU\Software\Micrsooft\SmallBusinessServer\ClientSetup\NoPrinterConfig
(REG_DWORD) to 1 on a workstation.

2. The behavior can be disabled for all users by setting
HKLM\Software\Micrsooft\SmallBusinessServer\ClientSetup\NoPrinterConfig
(REG_DWORD) to 1.

3. If the printers have already been configured on the clients, the
following registry value is created under
''HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\smallbusinessserver\clientsetup''
with value data ''1'':
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\smallbusinessserver\clientsetup.

4. To let the clients be re-configured, you need to manually delete the
registry value mentioned in 3.

Please try the above steps at your earliest convenience. If you have any
concern, please feel free to let me know.

Best regards,

Manfred Zhuang(MSFT)
