Hello all,
I have a domain with both 2003 and 2012r2 domain controllers and a file/print 2012r2 server.
I will demote the 2003 DCs in a week.
It takes very long time (>5 minutes) to install new printers to windows 7 clients (hangs on “searching driver” and “downloading driver”.
When i use the command “netstat” on client I can’t find established connection (ipv4) with print server.
When i use the command “netstat” on client and I access print server file share, I find established connection (ipv4) with server (OK).
I have the same delay when using Active Directory (Devices and Printers > Add a Printer > Add a network printer) to install the driver as when double-clicking the printer share from the server (\\servername\printer-name).
After installation, when clients are printing the response time is normal.
I disable firewall on server and on client, but no luck.
I disable ipv6 on server, but no luck (I re-enable it).
Nslookup from client to server and vice versa has normal results.
SMB in particular server is working ok without delay.
I have installed universal drivers from HP, Ricoh and Lexmark on print server.
Thanks,
Alex
