  • HI
    (1)copy below powershell command in notepad and rename it as"removepdfprint" then  change the extension to .ps1 like picture1 .
    Remove-Printer -Name "Microsoft Print to PDF"

    (2)copy the removepdfprint.ps1 to netlogon shared folder on DC 
    (3)create a "removepdfprint" gpo and link it to destination OU and create below shutdown domain policy like picture 2
    Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Scripts (Startup/Shutdown)
    and add  \\19dc\netlogon\removepdfprint.ps1 in powershell scripts like picture 3
    (4) enter gpupdate /force on both client and DC then reboot client computers then check the result on client computers
