Hi everybody,
please let me crarify first my network configuration and proceed to my question.
We have a domain.
Domain controller is windows server 2003 standard edition, with it' schema upgrade to the schema of windows server 2008 R2, via the adprep32.exe procedure.
Print server is a windows server 2008 R2, joined to the above domain. I've used the group policy management in this server to create gpo's for printer deployment.
I've created a gpo in each organizational unit from this server according to this article http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles-tutorials/windows-2003/Deploying-Printers-Group-Policy-Windows-R2.html
Because in every OU i have both pc's that running XP and Windows 7, I've used the pushprintersconnections.exe as a startup script(per machine).
After that i used the print management console in the windows 2008 server in order to deploy the printers. Let me say here that, before using the console to link each printer to a gpo, I 've installed the printers to the windows 2008 server by adding a new printer and giving it's printer's IP. The server found the printer in the network and installed everyone by adding the driver for each.Did the driver installed only the windows server 2008 x64 driver for the printers? what if I want to deply these printers to xp clients? What about the drivers?
After making each GPO Enforced I ONLY saw the correct printers ONLY TO xp clients and with the sign "Unable to Connect" next to them, to each XP client! None of the windows 7 clients got the printers, although the get some other policies, just fine?
Can someone help me?Any question, I will answer immediatelly!
Thnks!
