RDP TS ports bad, need only 1 printer redirected
Hello, we have 2 problems:
1) When connecting to RDP on a Windows 2008 R2 server, the clients get multiple listings of the same printer and many of them dont work. To many TS ports taken up. I've cleaned this up before in the registry but it keeps coming back. Why?
2) We dont see all the bad printers in Windows PRinters and Faxes, but we do see all the bad ports when we try to print a cheque or something in Simply Accounting (Sage 50). There is shows to many printers and eventually wont allow us to select one because it cant read all the ports.
So number 2 is the goal, but number 1 is the problem.

If that's not practical, you'll probably have to do regular clean up on the TS printer ports. We had the same issue at a previous job. One of the system admins created a script that would clear out the ts ports nightly as a scheduled task. I'm no longer at that job, so I don't have access to the VB script she wrote, but I found something similiar on Brian Madden's site:

I think the responses by J Frankenfield & OARC would be helpful to you.
