I have a script that uses printui.dll to install printers as machine printers, using /ga. The script is a visual listing of the printer servers printers and the user chooses which one they want and hits install. For the last 5 years or so this has worked perfectly and the Windows Servers that have housed the print server roles have been Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012. They have always worked perfectly.
We are starting to migrate to Server 2016 for our enterprise and the prinui.dll is not working anymore.
This page is my reference for the command: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/rundll32-printui
Here is an example of what I am trying to do:
RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /ga /n"\\Print_Server.domain.domnet\PrinterQueue"
The command appears to result in a queue deployed, but it isn't visible to windows, only in:
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ge
Any idea what I am doing wrong?
