I have two separate offsite locations that VPN into our main office
network and work off of TS. They have printers attached to their
PC's and can print to them locally, they can get to the internet or
browse our network without issue. Yesterday out of the blue there
local printers disappeared from TS printers and they cannot print to
their local printer when they are in TS. However they can print to
them when they are out of TS using local resources.


I have rebooted the TS Server and our SBS Server. Each location has
rebooted all there devices (printer/PC's/routers) etc. I've checked
the Remote Desktop, local resources options and each have there
"printer" option selected.

Note: locations are in different cities and have different ISP's.
Each location has separate logins for VPN and TS. Interesting, thing
is that at one of these location they started with two printers that
had disappeared then halfway through the day one returned but the
other is still MIA???? This is leaving me with two locations that
have lost their ability to print from inside TS to their locally
attached printer.

Can anyone help me or point me in a direction that could help solve
this issue.

Hi - please repost this as a new message. Pretty much nobody's going to see
this reply in the old thread - this isn't a forum, it's usenet.

If I were you I'd also crosspost it to
microsoft.public.windows.terminal_services and mention what you've got in
your event logs.

Additionally, you might want to consider using a news client, such as Forte
Agent, Thunderbird, or even Outlook Express, rather than the pretty clunky
web interface to the newsgroups. It's a lot easier to do nearly everything
that way. You can mark messages to be watched, filter the views so you can
see replies to your posts easily, and search.

The Microsoft public news server is msnews.microsoft.com and you can
subscribe to as many groups as you like; no authentication is required.
