Table 5‑18. RDS Printer Redirection Group Policy Settings
Setting Description
Do not set default client printer to be default
printer in a session
Use this policy setting 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 setting to override this
behavior.
If you enable this policy setting, the default printer is the printer
specified on the remote computer.
If you disable this policy setting, the RDS host automatically
maps the client default printer and sets it as the default printer
upon connection.
If you do not configure this policy setting, the default printer is
not specified at the Group Policy level. However, an
administrator can configure the default printer for client sessions
by using the Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration tool.
Do not allow client printer redirection
Use this policy setting to specify whether to prevent the mapping
of client printers in Remote Desktop Services sessions.
You can use this policy setting to prevent users from redirecting
print jobs from the remote computer to a printer attached to their
local (client) computer. By default, Remote Desktop Services
allows this client printer mapping.
If you enable this policy setting, users cannot redirect print jobs
from the remote computer to a local client printer in Remote
Desktop Services sessions.
If you disable this policy setting, users can redirect print jobs
with client printer mapping.
If you do not configure this policy setting, client printer mapping
is not specified at the Group Policy level. However, an
administrator can still disable client printer mapping by using the
Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration tool.
