Hello all.
I'm dealing with GPP printers and try to create two TCP/IP printers.Action is "update", Ienabled "use DNS-Name", the names I enter do exist in DNS and resolve to addressess that answer ICMP.Both resolve to my DCs and not to real printers, but that should not matter...
After doing GPUpdate on the client I have two new printers. Both have the SAME Port IP_2.0.0.0 assigned, pointing to the IP address2.0.0.0 ?!?!?
After changing one printer to a fixed IP (instead DNSName) and doing GPUpdate again, this new port gets created, but the printer itself is stuck to the oldand wrong port IP_2.0.0.0?!?
Client is Win8 x64, all automatic windows updates installed. I did this same thing years ago with Vista, and it worked flawlessly. And doing the same on other clients running Win7 x64 or WinXP works, too.
Is it me not seeing my error, or is GPP Printers broken in Win8?
And as I'm talking about that, one more issue: When I select a different shared printer paht, my local printer doesn't get updated - in neither OS. If I change action to "replace", it gets updated - but that's not the goal to reach, because this in fact deletes and recreates the printer. And all user settings for the prinner are lost.
I'm stuck and will happily receive any advice ;-)

BTW: For those of you that are also reading the german GPO forum - I also asked the question there: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/de-DE/gruppenrichtliniende/thread/56540ea0-df1b-4531-889d-2bc034f9cbe2
Of course, one answer would already satisfy me...
NO THEY ARE NOT EVIL, if you know what you are doing:
Good or bad GPOs?
