Win 10 & Microsoft Surface.

[dgrinnell27]

Hi All,

 

We have a medium size collection of Microsoft Surface Pro 3&4's. (around 50)

 

I noticed something strange the other day with 2 that were imaged with Windows 10 x64 Education, no printers appear via GPO?

I did some troubleshooting and found the policy was applying via GPRESULT, however with any account (even admin) the printers would not map?

 

So I decided to install Win 10 x64 Pro as a test and boom, they appear straight away? It seems as if the Education version of the OS does not like the Surface Pro's, I know it sounds crazy.

 

We have around 30 devices running Education x64 on Laptops and desktops and the printers appear fine?

 

Im kind of baffled, ive tried moving the devices around in the OU within AD and still no luck?

 

Hopefully someone might have some ideas?

 

Regards

Dan

A long shot, but any WMI filters being applied?

Do your Windows 10 Education PCs have the exact same updates installed as the Pro install?

Yes, I have tested this by selecting certain updates for a Win 10 Pro and Education install and whatever update I install (or dont) the Education version doesn't ever get the printers, its very strange.

 

Ill also add that the printers are applied via Users not machine.
