We have worked out the issue. Turns out having the hostname of the computer greater than 14 characters is the cause of this issue.
Default printer change upon RDP re-connection to terminal server
Hello fellas,
Having an odd issue when RDP connecting to a server that I can't for the life of me find any solution for. Sorry if this isn't the correct place to post but any assistance is immensely appreciated.
Essentially, when initially connecting to the terminal server with RDP, the printer is correctly set as the default. However, when the client disconnects (not sign out, just closing the RDP session) the default printer changes and must be manually set as default again. So the catch is, that we'd need a solution that isn't based on user login, but instead upon re-connection to the server.
Since their not logging in every time a login script would also sadly be out. Forcing the printer in question to stay as default for ONLY that user would be the aim (lots of other users on the server that do not have this issue and use other printers).
Another thing too note is that the printer is adding as default upon initial log in but is not being added to the server's control panel printer list. I am hoping that being able to find a solution to this control panel issue will solve the default printer setting issue. Also, there is a printer local to the client (redirection) and to the server (No redirection), with the issue persisting in both cases.
Any advice on this situation is appreciated.
