I have a client that has 1 main site and 3 smaller satellite sites. They only have one (yes 1) server for all of their clients. There is a 100MB connection between so bandwidth is not an issue. The server is 2008 R2, clients are a mix of XP and Windows 7. I have deployed client side extensions to the XP clients.
My project: Install a new network printer in each site (its the same printer for all 4 sites), configure clients to use printer in their site via GPO.
Each site has its own OU with users in their respective site OU. Normally, if this were a single site I could add the print services role, install the drivers for the printer on the print server, and use GP preferences; User config -> Preferences -> Control Panel -> Printers -> add new TCP/IP and then apply this to the users OU. The problem is that it requires a local name and printer path, which would require a local print server in each site.
Is there a way to use GP to add a printer to each client computer (and set as default) throughout multiple sites, while only having the One server in 1 out of 4 sites?
All help is greatly appreciated!
NOTE: when I say site, I mean physical location, it is all one domain.
