On a W2k3 TS server with IIS6 and really nothing else.... All the clients setup perfectly. The "local" printers ported over to the TS session with out much trouble. I say local but 99 times out of 100 the "local" printer is still a JetDirect box. The printers worked great for like 2 months. I installed Acrobat 6 on the TS Server box and now SOME of my TS clients don't get any "local" printers. If I set it up from the TS session it works but if I reboot the printer goes away again. I also introduced my first 2 XP machines into the network but I don't know if the Acrobat install or the XP machines screwed the pooch or if this is a Windows "feature".
I DO appreciate and and all help you could provide on the subject.

You say some clients have this problem. Is it the same clients over and over? Have you looked at your event log to review the messages there when the problem occurs?

Please always take the time to backup any and all data before performing any actions suggested for ANY problem, regardless of how minor a change it might seem. Also test the backup to make sure it is intact.
