VDI desktop local print spoolers needing to be restarted after print server reboot overnight

Hi,

Wondering if anyone has come across the problem we are experiencing, we like to reboot our print server overnight to clear down any issues with the print spooler, it enables us to clear down any stuck print jobs etc. Up until the past month we could do this causing no problems but recently the following day after a print server reboot we have noticed calls being logged where users printers are not being mapped on logon (we have a simple batch start-up script for this), investigating further it appears the local print spooler will not work until the VDI desktop is reset or we manually restart the local print spooler service, this only happens after a print server reboot which is done out of hours, if this was happening during working hours I can foresee how this might cause problems but I dont understand why it would be effecting local print spoolers on the VDI desktops. Any idea?

We are running a VMWare View 4.6 environment, print server is setup on Windows 2008 32-bit Std.

Regards,
Ross
