Table 5‑17. RDS Printer Redirection Group Policy Settings
Setting Description
Do not set default client printer to be default
printer in a session
Use this policy seing to specify whether the client default
printer is automatically set as the default printer in a
session on an RDS host.
By default, Remote Desktop Services automatically
designates the client default printer as the default printer in
a session on an RDS host. You can use this policy seing to
override this behavior.
If you enable this policy seing, the default printer is the
printer specied on the remote computer.
If you disable this policy seing, the RDS host
automatically maps the client default printer and sets it as
the default printer upon connection.
If you do not congure this policy seing, the default
printer is not specied at the Group Policy level. However,
an administrator can congure the default printer for client
sessions by using the Remote Desktop Session Host
Conguration tool.
Do not allow client printer redirection
Use this policy seing to specify whether to prevent the
mapping of client printers in Remote Desktop Services
sessions.
You can use this policy seing to prevent users from
redirecting print jobs from the remote computer to a
printer aached to their local (client) computer. By default,
Remote Desktop Services allows this client printer
mapping.
If you enable this policy seing, users cannot redirect print
jobs from the remote computer to a local client printer in
Remote Desktop Services sessions.
If you disable this policy seing, users can redirect print
jobs with client printer mapping.
If you do not congure this policy seing, client printer
mapping is not specied at the Group Policy level.
However, an administrator can still disable client printer
mapping by using the Remote Desktop Session Host
Conguration tool.
