Printer Deleted on the terminal server - How to trace who deleted and when ?

Discussion in 'Windows Home Server' started by benxxv via WinServerKB.com, Sep 13, 2009.

  1. Hi,

    There are several printers available in the windows 2008 RDP session for the
    users, the printers are installed on the terminal server.

    One of the printer got deleted few days back. We tried to trace how the
    printer got deleted but unable to come up with the fact.

    Please help me how to trace when and how the printer got deleted on the
    terminal server..

    Regards,
    Raghuveer.

    In addition to Vera's reply ....nobody but an admin should be able to delete
    them anyway. Perhaps your users have more rights on this box than they
    should.

    Only an Admin type user can MANAGE PRINTERS normally - why are you users
    given access that would allow them to Delete printers?

    At best, give authenticated users the ability to manage print jobs, or
    just trusted managers, but no user should be an Administrator (except an
    admin).
