Hello,

The Printer Management console (PMC) - is the MMC snapin for Windows 2003 R2
for managing printers on scattered print servers in the enterprise.

The specification for running it is that the the account has to have local
administrator rights on the print servers it works with - which is easy
enough to do -
However - Administrator rights seems rather excessive -
Is there any specific rights that can be assigned rather than doing the
'blanket' add to local administrators group ?

cheers - Mart

Mart,

Last winter I was trying to setup our local office support guys with
the PMC on their local XP desktops but ran into rights issues. It
worked for me fine but, according to our MS rep, that's because I'm a
Domain Admin, and that Domain Admin rights were required for this to
work properly. I gave up and told the local techs to TS into the print
server to use it. Our local techs mostly have local Administrator
rights since they handle their own reboots.

Whatta disappointment ..
-Greg
