Hello,

The PrinterManagementconsole (PMC) - is the MMC snapin forWindows2003R2
for managing printers on scatteredprintservers in the enterprise.

The specification for running it is that the the account has to have local
administratorrightson theprintservers it works with - which is easy
enough to do -
However - Administratorrightsseems rather excessive -
Is there any specificrightsthat can be assigned rather than doing the
'blanket' add to local administrators group ?

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 ..
