I just created a new policy to test. The new printer is correctly installed and set to default on the current image. It is installed but not the default on the test image. I validated that the user account did not exist on both machines prior to logging into the machines.

Mark Kent (MCP) Sr. Desktop Systems Engineer Computing & Technology Services - SUNY Buffalo State From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of HANSON, ADAM Sent: Friday, May 15, 2015 8:13 AM To: '[email protected]' Subject: [adgpo] Printer Preference - Install and Set Default Printer We use a GP User Preference to install a default printer to all users in the organization. Currently this process work flawlessly on all of our images (4) and all of our 5000 machines. In testing the new image for next school year we have come across the issue where the printer will be installed but will not be set as the default. The exact issue is described here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2787598. In our case the printer is set as a "create" so the resolutions offered do not make further changes to resolve the issue (we need staff to be able to change the default but want to set it initially). A few users are set to "Update" for the preference and the printer becomes the default the next time they log in. [cid:[email protected]] The image for next school year is based on and is updated from the current image. The image is built with Windows 7 Ent. SP1 x64. There have been a few significant updates to the image but most are minor updates. The biggest changes were Office 2010 to 2013, Adobe CC to CC 2014, and Smart Notebook 2014 to 2015. My ultimate question is why does this work on our current 4 images but not on the new one? The 4 images are all built from the same base image using MDT. The new image is built in exactly the same manner as the current production images.
