I'm working with users who login to a 2003 TS and connect their local
printers and see printers from the server. When they login their local
default is mapped as default in their session. When another user logs in at
a different office the default printer for the first user will change. They
are in the habit of resetting their default over and over again, but I'm
hoping we can do better than that. I'm told this is a known issue, but I'm
looking for a straightforward way around this.

Re: Default printer in term session keeps changing

Sounds like the users are logging in with a shared account, or at
least a shared profile. If so, this behaviour is by design.
Remedy: make sure that all users have a unique user account and TS
profile. Also make sure that they don't have more than just User
privileges.
