Default Printer in WVD
Hi everyone,
Could Windows Virtual Desktop not save the default printer of a user session?
After every new login, the setting is wrong
I thank you for every useful tip
Regards
Andy

After some further research I found that setting this GPO fixed the issue for us. The default no longer was set after each login. Hope this helps!
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Printer Redirection\Do not set default client printer to be default printer in session to "Enabled"AnDGy I'd love to see WVD print the same way as RDP does. It doesn't. Frustrating trying to bring customers to the cloud this way. Have Microsoft fixed this yet? Can we print to a REAL printer from a WebClient session yet or are we still forced to accept 2 step printing still - printer to PDF (which does NOT by default go your the local PC/downloads folder) and then print the real printer from there?
- Anyone figured this out yet? It's haunting me!
It depdend what you want. This is the same thing as RDS server.
The default printer can be managed at multiples levels.
1st Level: RDP Client Advanced settings
2nd Level: Server policies (GPO/Registery keys)
3rd Level: Active Directory user settings. (Does not work with AADDS, the setting is locked)
By default the RDP client will redirect the printer of the user then set it by default.

So at the end of the day it is a case by case basis.Did anybody get to the bottom of this issue. We are facing the same issue default printer seems to change everytime a user logs in. It seems this is be caused by a delay in network printers appering so the default is set to a locally installed printer or Virtual printer.
- I'm facing a similar issue - user has to set their default printer every time they login. Any way to resolve, Microsoft?
