Help allowing Print Operators onto a domain controller |
|
|
I promoted a win2003 print server to a Domain Controller as part of our
migration from AD 2000.
Prior to the promotion, I had the Print Operators group in the local
Administrators group so our helpdesk could manage the printers.
Now, of course, they have no access to the printers. They cannot be added
to Administrators.
Is there a way that I can give the group access to manage the printers
without having to assign security individually on each printer (there are
70)?
Also, what do I need to do to ensure they can create/share/manage new
printers going forward?
TIA |

Well when you have a domain controller doing double duty there will be
compromises since domain controllers require a domain administrator to do
most major configuration on them. What you should do however is add the
domain users that are in your help desk to the print operators group in
Active Directory Users and Computers. If that does not give them enough
rights see the link below that may help. --- Steve
