We can't deleted the GPO deployed network printer in Windows 7. It shows "Access is denied.
We currently upgrade the client system from XP to windows 7, and there have some printers were mapped by GPO, and the user login this computer and want to remove this printer, it shows "access is denied". I try to login with local administrator, the problem is the same, what is the problem? (My print server is 2003, AD is 2008 Enterprise R2).
