Group Policy Preferences Deploying Printers Tips

Using Group Policy Preferences to deploy printers and getting “Access denied”: ensure the printer’s security permissions include Full control for the System user.
Using Group Policy Preferences to deploy printers to Windows 7 / Vista computers and getting event ID 4098 with message “The RPC server is unavailable”: on the properties of each printer item that you are deploying, click the Common tab and ensure the box “Run in logged on user’s security context” is checked. For security reasons this is preferable to disabling User Account Control or the MSKB 937624 solution bypassing LSA checks.
