Workgroup Access of Domain Computers

by james794251 . Updated 19 years, 3 months ago

Hi i’ve been banging my head against a certain problem that I’ve been having over the past few weeks. I’m totally stumped and would appreciate any suggestions.

I’ll give some background to the problem. I’ve been put in charge of migrating our business network from a peer to peer workgroup to a domain.
Everything else is running smoothly. However I am having a problem with shared printer access. The migration is taking place over a number of weeks with specific computers being taken off the workgroup and added to the domain. The problem arises with shared printers connected to workstations that have been added to the domain. Basically members of the workgroup still need access to these printers however only some of the shared printers are visible to the workgroup but the others do not appear (this is on the browse for printers section of the add printer wizard). Computers connected to the domain can find and use all the printers connected to domain workstations.
I’m completely stumped as to what the cause of the problem might be, like I said any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
