when we login with the Admin Id we are have the following issue

first user to login, as admin, to the server, auto redirects the printer
output to their default printer.
the second user to as admin, redirects to thier default printer.

we don't want the printer to redirect at all.
we want the server to print to one one printer and no other.

the printer is already defined on the server and that is the only printer we
want to be used.

how can I do this?

server info:
windows 2003
version 5.2 R2 srv 03
build 3790

TIASP 2
 
RE: stop redirecting of printers.

You can disable Printer Redirection via individual user account settings,
GPO, or server settings in TSCC.MSC.

RE: stop redirecting of printers.

You can also uncheck the option in the RDP client:
[local resources - printers]

For future reference create two .RDP files. One with the printers
redirection and one without the printer redirection.

Good luck,
Yuri
 
RE: stop redirecting of printers.

not sure where to find these, ( which menu, tab, checkbox etc...)

what happens if I check "windows printer mapping" (to disable)
in "terminal service config" > RDP > client session?

RE: stop redirecting of printers.

In RDP Client [Remote Desktop Connection] you will find it at:
Options -> Local resources -> Local devices section: printers

In TSCC.MSC [start run on the terminal server and type TSCC.MSC]:
Connections -> RDP-TCP -> Client Settings -> Connection section: connect
client printers at logon
 
Re: stop redirecting of printers.

There is also GP on server to disable printer redirection:
Computer Configuration->Administrative Template->WindowsComponents->Terminal
Services->Client/Server data redirection->Do not allow client printer
redirection

Thanks
