Set the Default Active Directory path when searching for printers


With in AD you can redirect users to search for printers. This can be very useful when building a new print server on the domain and not wanting users to be able to see the printers you create until you are ready.

To do this do the following:
Navigate to: User Configuration>Administratove Templates>Control Panel>Printers
Open: Default Active Directory path when searching for printers
Enter the path OU to the print servers as seen in the example here:

LDAP://OU=Print Servers,OU=ServiceServers,OU=Infrastructure,DC=MyDomain,DC=org,DC=uk

When the user logs in again they will see the printers available on the servers in the that OU in the path above

Hope that helps
