Windows Server 2008 r2 printer access denied.

i have a windows server 2008 r2 PC with a printer installed and shared on it. when trying to access the printer from any other PC in the network i get "windows cannot connect to the printer. access is denied" this is from both a windows 7 and
windows 8 PC.

Helped me to set Security permissions on system with printer (Win 2008) of folder "C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers" for group NETWORK to "Full control".

Windows Server 2008 R2 Printer Migration

Hi Guys,
This is more of a reassurance than a question but i just want to be 100% sure.
I'm a second line engineer trying to gain exposure into third line and i have been given a small project to migrate some printers from a Windows Server 2008 machine to a Server 2008 R2 machine which is an already established priner server hosting 95% of
our printers.
My (possibly silly) question is if i export the printers from the 2008 server can i import them onto the 2008 R2 server without overwriting whats already there.
I have seen printers migrated from scratch but i just wanted to make sure i can add the to whats allready there,
All the drivers x64 and x86 are already in place.
Thanks

Hi,
Sorry for my delay.
Based on your description, did you mean that migrate Print Servers from Windows Server 2008 to Windows Server
2008 R2?
You can use the Printer Migration Wizard or the Printbrm.exe command-line tool to export print queues, printer
settings, printer ports, and language monitors, and then import them on another print server that is running a Windows operating system. This is an efficient way to consolidate multiple print servers or replace an older print server.
Please refer to following articles and check if can help you.

If anything I misunderstand, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Hope this helps.

Weird issue with Windows Server 2008 R2 Print Server

I have an issue with Windows 2008 R2 (VMWare Hosted) running Windows Print Server.
Prior to a small network change, the print server was working well, hosting about 80 different networked printers from various vendors.
We made a change (that we ended up rolling back) to the Client's DHCP Scope OPT 006 (DNS Servers). The DNS servers never quite worked right and broke AD authentication to different servers, and was just a mess.
After rolling back we are not able to keep the printers online. If we ping them from the print server, the printer(s) never wake up, when a print job is submitted. If we ping them from one of the access switches, they work fine (until they fall back asleep),
to prevent this, if we start a ping on the server AFTER waking them up from the Switch Ping, they stay online and no problems.
If we stop the ping, they fall back asleep at some point, and again, won't wake up without intervention/switch side ping.
Has anyone experienced anything like this? Any tips on how I could possibly resolve it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
According to your description, the issue seems to be that the printers can't keep online. Sounds like a power managerment issue. Why these printers fall into sleep? Have you consulted this issue with the manufacturer of these printers? Do these printers
fall into sleep if them lose the contact with printer server? Have you tried to reset the printers?
>>We made a change (that we ended up rolling back) to the Client's DHCP Scope OPT 006 (DNS Servers).
DNS client will cache the recently queried records. If the DNS server has replied with a wrong records, communication issues will occur. To clear the DNS cache on a Windows device, please run the command below:
ipconfig /flushdns

"start" then nothing happen.
I know also that I can't right click on "computer" and choose "properties" in the start-menu.
Also another problem. I did install Fbackup to make schedule file backups on the night. The software worked well to launch when I had installed it, but after the night, this morning it just crash on launch.
I can also tell that I did add from 4 CPU core to 6 CPU cores.

Error Exporting Printer's Queue Windows Server 2008 ENTERPRISE SP2

When I try to make a Backup the printers on Windows Server 2008 with Printer Migration
I get the following error:
Windows Encountered errors during the migration process.
please anyone can help me.

Most likely someone performed some registry edits that although they got the print server operational, it blocks backups up through the Windows 7 version.
I have referenced a couple ways to get around this issue in the forum. Here's a post with your issue.

Can I use Remote Desktop Connection (windows server 2008) even if no user is logged in?

I'm configuring a Server, running Windows Server 2008, to be accessed remotely. Suppose no user is logged in in the server (if it was just turned
on, for instance). Can I use the "Remote Desktop Connection" feature to log in remotely in this case? Or is it always necessary to have a user locally logged in, to remotely log in to one of the users available?

If its a fresh installation, RDM might not work at first.
1. You need to check firewall and allow Remote Desktop. To be specific, communication to port 3389 TCP
2. Right click My Computer --> Properties --> Remote tab
Enable Remote Desktop
Allow connections to this computer
Click users and grant the permissions for the users. By default, Administrators do have the permission. An also, the users who are members of the 'Remote Desktop Users' security group also have the permission

This apparently would be possible if the server is running the HP ePrint Enterprise server. HP has an app that then allows an iOS device to print to it. There may be other, similar services, though I haven't found any. Perhaps someone else will know.
This is the iPad forum, by the way.

2008 R2 printer server, cannot connect to printer, access denied, Windows 7 OS only

Deployed new Windows 2008 R2 domain controller, added print and document controll. Added several network printers on R2 server. We currently have mostly Vista biz clients but half a dozen W7Pro clients also. The Vista clients connect to these new network
printers, no problem but none of the W7 clients will connect. I select the printer from the drop down directory list and select to load the drivers, the system starts loading drivers and then right before it finishes it stops with error message, "Windows cannot
connect to the printer. Access denied. Again, this happens only with the W7 clients on our domain, Vista works fine.

By default, the security settings for Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 allow users who are not members of the local
Administrators group to install only trustworthy printer drivers, such as those provided with Windows or in digitally signed printer-driver packages. You may want to install printer-driver packages on the print server
or in the clients. More details can be found this page: Cannot
connect to printer, Access denied -

Hello,
your description is a bit confusing. You get the error message when you try to add the other DC to the DNS management console on one machine?
Both DCs belong to the same domain according to your description?
Please post an unedited ipconfig /all from both DC/DNS servers here.
BTW: PDC/BDC concept is gone since the start from AD with Windows 2000 Server. All DCs are the same, difference are only the FSMO roles, still that can be held from any DC in the domain according to some rules.

Windows Server 2008 R2 Remote Desktop - The requested session access is denied

Hi, I have been using Windows Server 2008 R2 since it was released, and have 100 servers up and running. I configured Allow Remote Desktop on all of them and have been able to connect to them and manage them via RDP since then. I also have two servers configured as Remote Desktop Services.
That was up until yesterday. Yesterday afternoon I started getting the The requested session access is denied. I managed all Terminal services via Group Policy and have three users entered.
I am connecting to the servers via Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7. Both clients have been updated to the latest Remote Desktop Services client.
I have been searching for the answer, and I am not finding it.
I have also tried KB954369 without any success.
Thanks,

Ok, from my trials and tribulations and discussions with Microsoft I have identified the following;
Assumptions;
A. My terminal server is in domain widget
B. All the users are in domain contoso
1. I had the Terminal Server configurured with a specific Login, which would launch a specific application only and not give them any desktop functions. Wiht this configured this way, I get the error I wrote about.
2. If I turn the specific login off, then I can login normally and perform the functions as Administrator that I need/want to do.
3. Microsoft said to configure the Terminal Server with Single Sign-on. I did as instructed and went thru all the steps, however because my terminal server is in domain widget, the users get prompted twice each time for login. Once on the website, and then again as the application launches. Microsoft said that the users needed to Remote Desktop Client 7.x or the self-signed certificate that I have has to be included in the domain contoso certificate authority so that they will not be prompted for the second sign-on.
4. Conclusions - I need to have a chat with our enterprise security team about including the self-signed certificate in the contoso certificate authority. I need to also work on my RDWeb website so that it meets our company standard look.
Here are the links that Microsoft provided;

Installation of Client Access role fails on Windows Server 2008 R2 (Execution of: "$error.Clear(); Install-ExchangeCertificate -services "IIS, POP, IMAP")

Hello
I am trying to install Exchange Server 2010 beta 1 onto a Windows Server 2008 R2 (build 7000) machine which has also been set up as a domain controller.
However when attempting to install the Client Access role, setup fails with the error below.
Does anyone know of a way to get around this please?
I have already searched for this error and not found any similar threads.
Also every time I press the code button on this forum it crashes the browser and I keep losing the message! (IE8 from within Server R2). Also the message box is very small, will not expand and keeps jumping to the top.
Thanks

Hello
Thanks for all the replies.
I have since wiped the system and installed everything again and it all worked this time so not sure what was wrong last time. I did try to uninstall all Exchange components and then uninstall IIS and Application server, reboot and re-install but I received the same error still when it came to installing the client access role.
Walter: I just attempted the standard installation which should have used the default self-signed certificate. Everything was a fresh install done at the same time on a freshly formatted PC.
For info last time when it failed to work:
- Installed Windows Server 2008 R2
- Installed Domain Controller role using dcpromo. I set the forest and domain as Windows Server 2008 R2
- Added a forest trust between main domain and test Exchange domain (set up as ex2010.local)
- Installed IIS and Application Server role
- Installed Hyper-v role
- Installed Desktop Experience feature
- Installed Exchange and recieved the error
When it worked I set up the forest and domain in Windows Server 2008 mode (i.e. not R2), installed Exchange first and then set up the forest trust and then Hyper-v. It did say it failed to configure dns which was probably because it started trying to do automatic updates half way through the dcpromo! DNS seems to work ok though.
I did notice this time that Hyper-v gave a warning about the virtual network adapter not being set up correctly and the local network did not work correctly although I could access the internet. Not sure if this could have been related to the cause of the problem previously. For now I have disabled the virtual network until I get time to try and get it working and so the mail will work in the meantime.
I also noticed that Hyper-v added an extra 443 ssl binding to the default website so as it had 2 bindings on port 443 it refused to start. After deleting one it worked.
I decided to install Exchange onto a domain controller as it is only a test and I wouldn't do it in a live environment. I am also short of test machines! It didn't give me any warnings about this actually, I think previous versions warn you that it is not recommended.
Andreas and Chinthaka: I did not know about the requirement to run the domain at 2003 mode. The main domain is running in 2008 mode with Exchange 2007 so I assume this is just a temporary beta related requirement. It does seem to be working (second attempt) so far in a 2008 mode domain although I haven't had a chance to fully test it yet.
Thanks

Printing problem with Konica Minolta BizHub282 using RDP on Windows Server 2008 R2

Hello,
I have an office setup as follows: Local office IP adress scheme 192.168.201.x. There is a Konica Minolta BizHub 282 printer connected to the 192.168.201.x network as well as around 10 workstations running Windows 7. There are also about
10 additional teleworkers WHO DO NOT NEED print access to the Minolta 282. All of their data is on a cloud server. I have them setup to first connect to the cloud server using a RRAS PPTP VPN and then to start an RDP session to the separate
RDP server. The Konica Minolta works ??okay?? with the easy print services and until now, we have just dealt with the lack of features and the occasional print job that goes crazy and prints out 400 blank pages (btw, this is usually on Excel) or a job
that cuts off the margins even when you have it set to "fit to page" (this usually happens in Adobe.) When I originally set this up, I tried loading the native Konica drivers on the server, but there was no joy because I couldn't get it to
work using the native drivers. The problem at hand is a feature called "account track." This feature authenticates your print job by using an account code. If there is no code, the job just disappears. When I load the native
Konica driver, the ability to turn on this feature is greyed out (see below):
When I use easy print, the codes seem to go through, but as I mentioned earlier, sometimes the print job just goes insane. After researching this, it seems to me that there are two ways to overcome this if we can't turn off the account track feature:
1) Overcome the driver problem. I've tried both of their current drivers without success: VXL and Visual Postscript. When I login to RDP, the (redirected) Konica 282 printer is listed, but when I try to print, it fails due to the missing account track code.
I'm hoping that there is a registry hack to turn this feature on by default with the code or a driver version that works with RDP. They have a WHQL driver available, but it didn't work any better. Is there a way to report this issue to the WHQL labs? Maybe
I can light a fire under Konica's rear end and motivate them to fix the driver.
2) I saw one discussion where the guy installed the printer out in the clouds as a local printer. He seemed to have a site-to-site VPN, not a client-to-site VPN, so this worked. Is there a way to do something similar when the customer connects to the
VPN through standard "connect to workplace" setup? I tried pinging the Konica 282 from the server while logged into the VPN, but the printer could not be found.
3) I considered setting it up as a google cloud print prnter, but that would require everyone to setup a google account and add a layer of complexity.
Anyone else run into this and have a solution? If not, does anyone have any ideas on a solution or workaround?
Thanks,
Jeffery Smith

Hi Jeffery,
Thank you for your comment.
Yeah, you can use universal print driver by configuring Remote Desktop Easy print on RDS Server. Install the driver on RDS server. Now to configure Easy print you need to have minimum client RDP 6.1(But suggest you to install RDP 8.1), .Net Framework 3.5 or
above and RDSH role.
Also under GPO setting need to check below settings.
Do not allow client print redirection: Disable
Use Terminal Service Easy print printer driver first: Enable
Computer Configuration > Administrative templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Printer redirection
For more information, you can refer below articles.

Deleting print drivers on Windows Server 2008 R2 without Print Role

Hi,
I'm using Windows Server 2008 R2 with Citrix Xenapp for published desktops meaning that i need to add a number of different printers to the server for the various users. Unfortunately i have some printer drivers that i think are conflicting and want to remove
these from the server.
How can i do this without adding the Print and Document Services role? Without this role i don't believe i can access 'Print Management' in the same way that i would with a Windows 7 client and then remove the driver package.
Is there another way that i can do this or should i be adding this role just to remove these drivers and then perhaps removing the role (if necessary), assuming that this is possible?
Thanks for any help.

add the tools for print management
in elevated cmd window
dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:Printing-AdminTools-Collection
If you already have local shared prints on the server, add the role. Adding the Role installs the tools and opens the File and print sharing firewall port which would have been achieved by adding a shared printer. You do not need to add the Print
role to setup a machine as a print server, it's not a requirement.
