Hi,
I've started getting problems with attaching shared printers via group policy to are client computers.
All the event logs i'm getting seem to be pointing to permissions on the printer, but they seem to be fine as are other machines are attaching the printer ok.
The user 'Printer BLK' preference item in the 'DeployedPrinterALL {578F2C91-17FD-4E52-AA09-8C2CC8BAF3A4}' Group Policy object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070005 Access is denied.' This error was suppressed.
As a test i've also been trying to attach the printer manually by going to\\SERVERNAME\PRINTER_SHARENAME but i get...
"Operation could not be completed (error 0x00000005). Access is denied."
We do have a secondary print server for are sister site and i can attach printers fine on the same computer. But the strange thing is that i can attach a printer on the problem machines by using the ip address of the server so\\IP_ADDRESS\PRINTER_SHARENAME. Which lead me to think its permissions on the server or a possible DNS issue.
I've check DNS and the correct IP address is listed/name and i can ping the server from the problem machines.
Kinda confused with this one any help would be grateful ladies and gents.
