You can clear them one by one on the administration tab, I've got an ARD job that runs a script to clear them all off leaving WGM to re-create the queues that are 'still' assigned to the machine: #!/bin/sh for printer in `lpstat -p | awk '{print $2}'` do echo Deleting $printer lpadmin -x $printer done

Its probably OSX(cups) permissions, you can stop users pausing printers/allow them to resume - check this thread: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/mac/112539-mac-keeps-pausing-printer.html

The spec on the non BLK actually says its 10gb (in places) but I suspect thats a typo since the model no. is the same!

IOPs is a performance metric, high isn't bad ... it just means the disks are busy. CacheHitRate (our HP SAN doesn't use this term) is probably data served from the cache (avoiding a disk IOP), which is a good thing. If you're worried about 'utilization' then your latencies should remain low and not spike around (more IOPS than your disks can handle), not an exact science but i would expect under 20ms unless you have 7200rpm disks (not supposed to be used for high IOPS).

Installed SCCM '12 over the summer but haven't used MDT much, most of the functionality seems to be already there! Did you check your licensing before upgrading to Win '12? Our licensing lets us have plenty of 2008r2 machines but the '12 rules are much less!

we use PoE midspans and 'normal' switches, the midspans are fully managed so you can cycle things remotely which is probably a more pricey feature on a switch (guessing).

Are you using 'promiscuous mode' on the vswitch?

We've got a bunch of M80 thin clients, we use them with 3 RDS servers and they seem to perform fine; we mostly get complaints about the RDS experience in general but that is mostly RDS fault not the thin client! There is a pretty functional 'daemon' to keep configs up to date on each boot (but as their website it isnt pretty) too.

If print names was actually an issue (surely just don't put sensitive info in doc names?) - just make a virtual printer queue for each user...

What exactly is the problem? Papercut has ACLs so I don't see why you would need to hide a printer?

Not tried but presumably most people will be deploying the file to all clients once happy

edit /private/etc/cups/cupsd.conf Find "# All printer operations require a printer operator to authenticate..." The next line should have Pause-Printer Resume-Printer Enable-Printer etc - remove the first two! That should work but I'm slightly confused as i'm comparing to a cupsd.conf from a different OS!

Remove "Pause-Printer Resume-Printer" from the 'strict' section in cupsd.conf (on the client computer).

Unless you have a well organised new build you're probably not running APs back to the same switch? This was the case in our building so we're just using our normal 'edge' switches with a PoE midspan for the amount of APs in that location: PowerDsine 6500/6500G PoE Midspan Family

Ping generally isn't very good for troubleshooting DNS, do you get the expected replies from nslookup?
