When setting up policies, if they do not apply to a user, set them to not apply to a user, and if not to a computer, set not to apply to computer. Leaving them so they apply even when blank if bad form, especially if your a domain that has hundreds of policy objects. Also, suggest you teach that the policy should be more descriptive (Star Printer instead of just Star for example)
IThanks for your videos. But dont understand you create group policy for printer but why did you make it in frist place. althouugh you add nothing in that group policy aiming restriction or accessing or etc for tthat group policy.
I followed this practice step by and step and both of my client PC’s we’re having trouble connecting to the printers. However, I was able to resolve the issue. From the group policy management window I manually added each PC to the corresponding security filtering section of the specified GPO. Refreshed, ran gpupdate /force on both PCs, then restarted both PCs and open devices and printers via control panel and each printer was connect to the assigned PC. Hope this helps anyone experiencing the same issue. As always, thanks again for your time Pat! These videos have helped me out a bunch. You da man . 👊🏽
Thank you so much for putting your comment and I hope that helps other people as well. It’s always always a reboot that helps. Lol and I’m glad you enjoyed the videos and they were helpful for you. That’s what it’s all about.
Thanks for the tutorial Pat, But how does deploying printer via GPO is better than adding a network printer via simple "Add a printer" option in Win 10 ? Sorry if it's a not a very good question.
Thank you for your dedication to help us understand things with ease. Awesome job. I'll look forward to watching more videos and learning more. How can I get ahold of you if I want to ask questions?
You’re very welcome it’s my pleasure. I love teaching how I would learn the concept myself, I try to simplify it as best as I can. And you can reach me on Instagram @pdgitsolutions.
