I have recently installed one or 2 new printers on our network being run by our server.
The problem is none of the client machines can see them. They appear to see the network fine and have access to all the files on the server etc, but the view of the server (from a client machine) seems out of date. I hope this makes sense.
If you type in "\\<nameofpdc>" from a command prompt on a client machine, it brings up the view of the server fine, the printers that are shared etc... only some of the printers that it see's dont exist anymore or have changed names. Its like the client machines are seeing an old version. I know this might not make sense but its right.
They only thing i can see id that the client machine's have no wins record, so i tested this by placing a record in the wins server from one of the machines, but this hasnt worked either. The only thing i can think of is resynching the domain. If i do this will i have to get all the users to log off?
Any help much appreciated.
