Dear fellow geeks,
I work with an infrastructure setup comprising of 2 terminal servers and around 500+ users connecting to it using remote desktop.
server 1 is primary with windows server 2012 and server 2 is backup with windows 2008.
out of that 500 around 350 are PDU users and they are working just fine.
the rest 150 users are PC users who connects to this server 1 and access the ERP application that it hosts.
the problems is with printer redirection, when the users start connecting to the server all their local printers will be redirected to the server in their current session,but after around 100 users are connected the printer redirection stops working for the new users, none of their printers are redirected to the server.
then to solve this issue temporarily i restart the following services
1) print spooler
2) Remote desktop services usermode port redirector
after i do that the users connecting hereafter gets their printers redirected, but it only solve the issue for maybe a couple of hours then this happens again.
to reduce the overall printers being redirected i created a custom group policy to redirect a maximum of 5 printers per user. still the issue is same.
Please let me know if anyone has any idea about this.
thanks and regards.
