Hi I am faced with an issue where my printers are constantly disappearing in the morning.<br />
I am running a Windows 2008R2 Domain environment. My print server is running on Windows 2003 standard.<br />
<br />
I have configured GPO to stop pruning and I also have stopped the print spooler service on the domain controller. <br />
<br />
The printers will disappear when I do a search for them in AD until I restart the Print server printer spooler service in the morning.
