when logging on with the same admin-account on Server3, everything is OK (no printers that are installed automatically).I can browse to the shared printer but when I try to connect to it, it says: Connecting to on Server1. I also notice that I cannot install network printers anymore manually on this Server2.When I go into Powershell and launch: GET-PRINTER, the list is empty while they are shown in DEVICES & PRINTERS !!! of course I cannot delete them from powershell also then.When I log on with another admin account on this Server2, the printers are also installed again automatically. dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth.emptied the following key in the registry: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers.emptied the following key in the registry: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\SWD\PRINTENUM.cleaned up the Device Manager for old hidden printers.After reboot, the printers are back while still not having network connectivity at all. Proof number 2 is more convincing: I deleted the printers (Devices & Printers is empty), I disable all network connectivity for this Server2 and reboot the server2 via the console.The proof is, after deleting the printers (Devices & Printers is empty), I run GPUPDATE /FORCE and they do not show up again! It's only after a reboot that the printers come back. I don't understand why they're coming back as an installed printer because: The weird thing is: the network printers that were once installed through GPO, I cannot delete them permanently ! When I deleted these printers from Server2 (right click-remove device) they got deleted but after a reboot, they show up again. Server3: just a file server (member server) In the past these printers got installed on the DC itself but now I have denied this GPO to deploy printers on the DC/user that logs on to this DC. Printers shared on Server1 are deployed to users via a user-GPO. I have 3 Windows Servers in my domain: Server1 is a member server which acts only a print server (printers are installed on this server and shared). I have this very weird and hard to solve problem on my domain controller (Windows Server 2022).
