I am trying to setup a default printer in my environment but i can't figure it out.

My environment is as follows:

I have 2 servers (1 is a DC, 1 is a member server)

I have multiple workstations set up in the same domain as the servers

What i have done is as follows: I have added multiple printers to the defualt domain policy now what i want to do is have 1 of these printers be a default printer by use of group policy so what i did was the following:

I created a new GPO for the default printer in User Configuration\preferences\Control Panel Settings\Printers

I created a new container with the update action and i checked the "set this printer as the default printer" checkbox

This seems to be fine but when i go to printers and devices on a client/another server it does not have the correct defualt printer set

Any help would be really appreciated

Anything logged in the event log?

Have you confirmed the pcs are getting the policy? (gpresult etc)

use GPresult to check the final policy apply to the machine

Roger

When i do GPresult /r it says denied (security filtering) for the GPO for the printer

I get this on the workstations and the server with multiple accounts.

Is there any way to fix this?
