Hi all
How do I add a printer by using the clientcomputername when being on a RDS? I can't use an IP range or username for filtering. I need to use the client computername.
I've been having trouble with this gpo. What I want to do is add certain printers to a computer if the computer is in a specific OU. So for the printers locally on the client this works fine. If I try to use this on the remote desktop server it doesn't work. I'm assuming that when I say, only add the printer to the computer in ou, when on the remote desktop server, it uses the remote desktop servers name.
EDIT:
I will post some printscreens so ppl, can understand my problem a bit better:
This is an example of how I have the AD:
The Printer Policy (Drucker Policy) is set for all the OUs below. So it is being used for the PCs in Site A and B as well as on the RemoteDesktopServers in RDS.
This is the printer policy, the box marked red is one that I also tried to set. I also wanted to make the Rule apply to the PC if it is either a Remote Desktop Session and the PC is in the OU Site A or if it is just a PC in the OU Site A. I have done it
this way on purpose because I want to make a policy that applies to RemoteDesktopSessions as well as just being on the local PC. For the local PC it works, for the RDS it won't work. The idea is that the local computer has the same printers in the RDS session.
I hope I'm not just confusing you ;) :
Thx for any help
