Deploying Printers With GPO and Groups (Server 2003 AD)

by ctcbarney . Updated 17 years, 10 months ago

OK…here’s the background…

I would like to deploy a printer to a “printer OU” which is populated only with a Group comprised strictly of users (no machines). I have been able to successfully deploy this printer from the OU with both a script and Group Policy to Users when the Users have been moved directly to that OU. Because of several issues, I do not want to move Users from their original OU into the “printer OU” and would prefer to manage situations like this using Groups instead.

Using both a logon script (either USER or COMPUTER) and GPO (separately, of course), both deploy to Users, not Groups, however.

Has anyone successfully deployed a printer (or any GPO for that matter) to a specific Group, similar to what I’ve described above?

Thanks!
