I have 4 load balanced terminal servers on windows 2000 advanced server. There is a large client base who use these servers. I let them attach their local printers, as this is where my problem arises. One of the clients has about 30 local printers that their IT department is to lazy to cut down via location. Therefore when people from the location logs on my terminal server it maps 30 printers for them. Now this might be ok for one user but when multiple users log on from that location it crashes the SPOOLER service and therefore disrupt applications and servies.
I have searched and searched for a way to restrict haw many printers one user can attach or even just load the Defualt printer they have, but could not find a way. My question is, is there a way to do this or can you think of another way to help my situation. Any help and direction would be great….. Thanks in advance.
