Hi,
I have a HQ where the Terminal service server is deployed. The server is
Windows Server 2003 R2 and the clients are Windows XP. We do not deploy VPN
between sites. For some reasons a domain is not created so it is a non-DC
server.

There is a user at a remote office (let's call it UserA) who has a directly
connected local printer. Another remote office has a user called UserB. When
UserA connects to the Terminal Service, he can print to the local printer. We
setup this by connecting the local resources and adding a printer driver on
the server.

Now, UserB wants to use UserA's printer, but he cannot see the printer. Both
users are normal users. If I add UserB into the PowerUsers or administrators
group he can see the printers, but adding power users/administrator could
compromise the security.

Other way is to edit the security setting of the printer (provided the UserA
has logged in) by adding Users group to allow to print, but once UserA logs
off and logs in again, the security setting of the printer will reset back.

Any idea on how to resolve this issue?

Cheers,
