Printers via GPO

[karldenton]

Hi,

 

The printers here have been setup to deploy via GPO. It was set to delete all then add the ones in the list. However, if people have added a shared printer thats not on the server, it deletes that too. If I take out the delete all, and just keep the ones to add, will it add them everytime they log on and they get 100's of same printers or if its present will it not add it (which is what I'm hoping for)

 

Thanks

The latter.

 

There are Internet debates between the "Create" and "Update" camps but (apart from a couple of corner cases), it really doesn't matter so long as you're consistent.

 

Create = Do thingy

Update = Update thingy. Create if not there, reset settings if modified, do nothing if is as it should be.
