Event 4098 GPO Printers, Item-Level Targeting 0x80070bc4

Dear All,

I have a Windows SBS 2008 Server with a Windows Server 2008 R2 Terminal Server.  I deploy the printers using GPO, and I also do Item-Level Targeting to manage default printers.

When the user has no printers installed in his session, the deployment of the printers is going fine... The printers are installed, and the correct printer is taken as the default one.

When the user logs off, and logs on again, following messages appear in the event viewer :

The user '<user>' preference item in the 'Printer Policy' Group Policy object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070709 The printer name is invalid.' This error was suppressed.

--> Item-Level Targetting is no longer applied.

I already tried :

- http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverGP/thread/3e413556-5db6-4f26-b15f-ecdb63ae6363

- Adding the Terminal Server Computer account to the printers security

- Played around with Group Policy LoopBack Mode

- Gave the user administrator rights

-...

I really don't know what to do next and the customer is really complaining about this.

Can somebody please help me?

Kind Regards,
