I have 4 machines running windows 2000 server. When I connect with my laptop through Terminal Services to administer the servers they all try in auto install the printer drivers that are on my laptop. They fail to do this and the Application Log gets filled with error messages that the drivers for Printer XX could not be installed. How do I stop the Servers from trying to install these drivers? These printers are only for my laptop.
 
Use the Remote Desktop Connection for Windows XP, and on the Local Resources tab, uncheck Printers.

It just means my answers are from experience, not a book.
 
I've connected using Remote Desktop. But now I can't find the Local Resources tab you speak of!!! Help, where is the tab?
