Windows 8.1 old printers showing following sysprep
We currently have a number of Windows Server 2012 R2 RDSH servers and also Windows 8.1 desktops that have been deployed using sysprep images. The original server/ pc image is fine but any that have been deployed using an image have an issue with printers.
When a user logs on and looks in printers it seems to show every printer that was mapped for other users when that PC/ server was originally syspreped. If you go to a select a printer within an application none show.
This is confusing for our users as 6 instances of a network printer show in some cases. Its almost like the sysprep process has converted any network mapped printer to a local and this shows in anyones account who logs on. See the attached screenshot of the printers in system, if I delete these they just re-appear after about 30 seconds.
Please could someone advise if these is a way of removing these rogue printer mappings. I have tried deleting in system and also removing the print drivers with no success.
