I have had a problem on several occassions during the past 3 years that has to do with the ability of a domain user to add printers. I have added domain users as a member of the print operators. Once in a blue moon a domain user cannot add printers or print (access denied). I have been successful in adding the individual as a member of the print operators. Question is why would 100 people in the domain users group be able to access printers but a couple (who are in the domain user group) bedenied. Should the domain users be members of the print operators or should the print operators be a member of the domain users or neither.

Hi,

You can only add global groups to local groups so I'd say you should be adding the domain users groups to the local print operators groups on the print server(s)

But the few that cant add printers... is it consistant? Or can they sometimesdo it?

Cheers,
Tim.

Hi,
According to microsoft policies always add doamin groups to local group i.e. domain users group into prints operator group.Rgarding the problem few user r not avle to print it is possible that these few user may be also member of other andthat group may have give no access right.
