If anyone can shed light on this, I will appreciate it! I get this error when I try to set up a printer for a user on my network;
"a policy is in effect on your computer which prevents you from connecting to this print queue"
I checked the user rights, and they are not any different than they have been in the past. I made the user a power user on the unit, and that did not work. The user belongs to the advanced users group on the server, with access to all printers on the network, and I am now at a loss, I hope someone can help!
I am not sure what "AD" stands for, but this server is our main server and it runs DHCP, DNS, File server, print server, and WINS, and yes, it is our domain server.
Log in to the workstation as Administrator, connect the printer, and after that re-login as the user and try to print. The power users have access to print, but not to install printers.
AD=active directory, wow that makes me feel stupid......
DimaYasny,
That is one of the problems. After I add it as administrator, then the user is not able to see it. So I have tried changing the user to administrator on that workstation, and it does not work. I am at a loss.....
if you log into the workstation as the domain admin, add the printer, edit it's security to let users print, and then re-login as the user, it doesn't work?
