Printing issues with GPO and Clones

Printing problem-gpo printers not getting pushed to clones

I have a printer server (virtual) and 160 vm's.

I push the printers to the clones (windows 7) through group policy on server 2003 and this worked really well for a long time.

Recently in the past month, something changed and now the clones only some of them get the printers not all.

In a lab of 30, only randomly 15 or so will get the printers.

I have compared one clone that gets a printer with a clone that doesnt and nothing is differnt and nothing is in the event logs. I did the group policy wizard to compare. The clone that doesnt get the printer is exactly like the one that does.

I made a new server 2008 and put the printers and drivers on it, and tested it once in a lab of 30 and everyone got their printer. So I went fourth and added all printers and took the other server offline and this week is the same story. Not every clone is getting printers.

Any ideas?

Hi

Welcome to communities.

First you need to rollout if any updated installed on system where its not working as its working on few .

At last you may rollback server .
