Re: Workstation with printers mapped under different Session #

I am having the same problems,

When a user is logging off, the inactive ts printer ports remain.

If the user is logging on again he can't use his session printer.

Do you have a solution already???

All users are only allowed one session at a time through TS configuration

seems to be that when they logoff a session it sometimes does not disconnect
printers from the terminal server. Then when the relogon say an hour later
it mounts all of their printers again under a another different session ID.

This is fixed in Longhorn Server Beta 3, where printers are isolated by
session id. For 2003, you could limit each user to 1 concurrent session,
which should resolve this. This is the default setting, and can be
configured via tscc.msc.

On a fairly heavily used terminal server that we allow printer mapping we
are seeing references in the printers and faxes of computers that have
printers mapped under multiple session numbers. What happens here is
that
when they try to print something, they see printers from both sessions.
I
have confirmed that the computer is only logged in under one session ID
in
terminal services manager and the other session is not disconnected.
Another problem is, if someone else logs in and grabs a session id that
is
available but still has some printers left out there from another
session,
that user can see printers from that session.

Has anyone else seen anything like this?

Thanks for your help
