no ... we did not use any group policy objects for printers. at this moment a Microsoft Core engineer is investigating the issue. He checked the AD trying to find old servernames but is also puzzled about it. &nbsp;The story continues

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
After a domain migration from windows 2003 to windows 2008R2 which consits of 3 sites we have problems on 1 site with failing print spoolers on the workstations. Investigation learns that in the local system32\spool\servers folder of the workstations old servernames keep appearing. As far as I can tell the whole AD is cleaned and in AD users&amp;computers no old names are to be found. But appearantly they keep coming back. Anybody who can give me a hint where to look ?<br />
<br />
I have also logged this at Microsoft but at this moment we can use all the help we can get. The customer suffers from hanging office apps and is losing its patience ..<br />
<br />
thanks !
