GPO Deployed Printers doesn t work without Admin rights

Question

Hi,

I have a Windows 2019 DC. When i changed the Domain Users as simple user in local machines (windows 10 pro).
The GPO for the Deployed Printers stops working.
The Security Filtering have only Authenticated Users.

In the event viewer->windows logs->system
warning event 1085
Windows failed to apply the Deployed Printer Connections settings. Deployed Printer Connections settings might have its own log file. Please click on the "More information" link

Answer 1

Hi,

i dont believe that the problem is with the Print Nightmare update.
The problem is with the windows login rights. For some reason when the windows user (domain user) is simple user(without admin rights) the deplyed printer does not work.

What is the different between Deployed Printer and Preferences->Control Pnel Settings-> Printers. I m asking, because the printers works fine
