#Microsoft remote desktop app printer redirection Patch#
What’s strange is that I’ve seen the printer redirection issue on systems Windows 10 systems with a completely up-to-date build and patch level, but I’ve also seen systems with names longer than 15 characters not experience the issue at all…so there’s still some debate to be had about definite causation.Īll I can say for certain is that if the this issue happens in your environment, and you’re able to shorten the system name by even one character to 14 or less, that solution usually works to resolve the issue. With the default Windows Out of box experience (OOBE) automatically assigning most systems a name with the following 15 Character format:ĭESKTOP-XXXXXXX I am generally surprised I haven’t seen this issue more often. My solution that has worked every time I’ve encountered this issue (and it’s been a lot) is to rename the client workstation (from which the RDS session is being established) to something 14 characters or less. What’s even stranger is that the solution to this issue appears to be an obscure Microsoft bug that affects some (but not all) builds of Windows Server 20 Standard if the workstation establishing the RDS session has a hostname that is more than 14 characters. Notice in the screen shot demonstrating the issue that Control Panel>Hardware>Devices and Printers only shows two local devices while simultaneously print dialog from Notepad shows a bunch of (redirected 12) printers. Or at least it appears to…upon further inspection, the issue is actually that after the RDS session is established, Control Panel->Devices and Printers shows no printers…Settings->Devices->Printers and Scanners shows no printers, BUT the print dialog from within applications does in fact show redirected printers and printer redirection is in fact working. After a lot of trials and tribulations I finally find a Windows 10 Pro systems which reproducibly fails to to redirect printers to both 2012 R RDS servers.

The story goes like this: Customer reports that for some users printers don’t appear to be redirecting but the issue is intermittent. I have looked at the MS Print to PDF printer properties box and created new ports and redirecting ports with no luck. This has been bugging me for a long time.
