Deploy Printer to a groups/users or Computer RRS feed

  • Question

  • Hi,

    I have configured a print server on WK 2019 Server. Now I have created a OU named "printers" and I also have created a group named "AC" and put in group "AC" my clients machines. For the OU "printers" I have created a GPO. But how and where can I put my group "AC" for deploying printers?

    Regards

    Nick

  • Hi,

    Using the Domain Browser, you need to locate the OU (organizational unit) on which you want to deploy printer and then click Create a New Group Policy Object button.

    Enter the policy name and click Ok. You can assign the created policy to domain users, computers or both.

    Per User > this setting assumes that a specific printer is connected on a user desktop, regardless of which computer it is logged on. This is useful if you have a VDI, or each person can use different workstations (for example in a Call center). This policy should not be used if users are distributed across different buildings or office branches. Otherwise, the user will have to take a walk to pick up his documents from the printer.
    Per Computer > No matter which user is working on the computer, it will always print on a specific printer (all users of a computer can access printer). This printer connection policy is commonly used in large distributed networks.
    Since we are linked policy to OU named Managers with only user objects, we need to select The users that this GPO applies to (per user).

  • Hi,

    Thanks for your replay. I know that Link. But there are a option in GPO called "Deployed Printers".

    What is that?


    Regards

  • Here is to select a currently shared printer. Install the printer to the computer or user we want. If you want to select the printer by user, use the user policy
