Re: Session based printing in MS TS?

No, there are no standard GPO settings that do this. I do this in a
single kixtart logon script. It helps tremendously if the naming
convention of your workstations and printers reflects their
location.

Yes, easy print looks awesome. I watched the web cast and this
will help a lot for our remote users. However, the feature I'm
looking for is based on Citrix session printing. In Citrix, you
can "import" a print server and assign printers from this print
server to users who log into Citrix using policies. At our
remote offices, we have a mixture of Windows 2000/XP clients
that are locked down and do not have any local printers
installed. Print jobs (traffic) are sent over the private
network with ICA traffic to the respective offices. Simply put,
we use print servers not local print queues on the clients.

We could change our print model since TS '08 Easy print reduces
traffic, but we would first need to update our Windows 2000
clients and do a lot of testing as our industry uses some pretty
complex forms. To get this feature in 2003 TS or earlier, we
would need to use logon scripts achieve this session based
feature with vanilla TS. My question is, are there any Group
Policy features or other methods for achieving this?

Thanks,

For those that are familiar with Citrix, is there feature in
the MS vanilla terminal services that provides the same
functionality as "Session based printing policies" in Citrix?
I'm asking because we are small business that's tired of
paying for Citrix and we want to investigate Windows Server
2008 TS solutions. We have two print servers and want to
assign different printers to different groups of users along
with the appropriate default printer.

With the new session broker, TS gateway, etc.., I'm sure many
small to medium businesses are thinking the same thing.

Thanks in advance.
