Rod,

I had lots of problems with Terminal Server Profiles having their default 
printer's changed.

So I implemented a combination logoff/logon script to save their default 
printer to a text file on their home drive, and reset it when they log back on.

I can share, if you'd like...

Subject: [windows2000] Is it possible that terminal services could change a

We are using terminal server on a Windows 2000 Server.  Some users of terminal 
services are claiming that it is resetting their default printer from 
<whatever> to a Samsung printer that is defined on the terminal server.  I 
don't think it is possible for the terminal server to change a user's default 
printer, but I could be wrong.

Is it possible that the terminal server is changing the default printer to 
something else?

And if this isn't the case, what could be changing the default printer for 
them?  (The majority of these users haven't a clue as to how to change anything 
with their printers' settings/configurations.)
