Hi,
I've got a new Server 2008 Standard server that I setup with printer shares that are listed in Active Directory. This server was setup to replace an old Server 2003 print server.
The only minor (but extremely annoying to the client, apparently) issue is that now, when users list printers in AD and install one, it maps to their machine as \\fully.qualified.domain.name\printer-name, instead of just \\servername\printer-name like it used to. This is making their printer drop-down menus hard to read in certain apps and the users are frustrated.
I've checked my DNS setup and also looked at the shares themselves and see nothing about specifying how the printers are shared one way or another. Any ideas?
