I am deploying printers for the company I work for via Group Policy Preferences > User Configuration > Shared Printer. I have one group policy for all of our copiers. For each copier, I have "Remove this item when it is no longer applied" checked, and am using Item-Level targeting to a specific OU. For example, I have the Accounting Copier item-level targeted to the Accounting OU, which contains a Users and Computers OU. I also have "Point and Print Restrictions" disabled in both Computer Configuration and User Configuration. I found my printers will not deploy properly without that disabled.
What I have accomplished is that all printers are being deployed depending on which OU a given computer resides in. For example, any computer in the Accounting OU will receive the Accounting Copier as in my above example, because of the Item-level targeting.
This is all working with Loop-back processing enabled. I found that if I disable it and run a gpupdate /force command to a computer that just joined the Accounting OU for example, will not get any printers.
Is this correct? Do I need Loop-back processing enabled for this set up or is something else going on that I am not aware of?
