  1. Item Level Targeting using OU for printers in GPP


    Hello,


    i wanted to configure printers mapping through GPO.


    i configured a policy added the shared printers in GPP and wanted to use the item level targeting as i have many printers across the region.


    we have a OU structure region wise like Parent OU will be APAC and under APAC we have china japan Australia and Singapore so and i was deploying the policy on parent OU so with the help of item level targeting i am mapping Singapore printers to Singapore OU Australia printers to Australia region and so on.


    all this are configured in users policy under user configuration as we wanted to map the printers depends on user belongs to which OU.


    we configured the point and print restriction policy added approved printer servers all configured.


    But printers are not getting mapped. We tried multiple troubleshooting but no luck.


    Then we removed the Item level targeting and the printer gets mapped.


    So wanted to know is there any limitation to item level targeting to map the printers.

    :)

    Setting Default Printer via Startup Script

    If the Domain Function level is 2008 why not simply use User Group Policy Preferences? You could then setup Item Level Targeting or location based GPO's to set different defaults depending on location. You could also place all the machines into a specific OU, configure Group Policy Loop Back processing and assign the GPO to the machine OU. This is generally how you configure group policy for terminal servers...

    Using GPP to deploy printers:

    Here's a nice spiceworks article that outlines the process in more granular detail. It's probably not exactly how I would do it, but it should work just as well as any deployment method:

  3. Setting Default Printer via Startup Script

    GPP have always been hit or miss in my experience, especially with printers. Though I did screw around with them in an attempt at getting this to work. Not much luck though. Perhaps I'll revisit the idea.

    Kenkickr, I'll give that script a try, but I was testing with something similar and it seemed like my success was 50/50

    Thanks for all the help everyone.
