Hi all,
Is there a known issue with Persona Management and Windows 2012's new driver delivery system 'Microsoft enhanced Point and Print compatibility driver'?
Here is our environment....
View 6.1.1 - Linked clone floating desktop using Persona Management
Windows 7 Enterprise 64 Bit
VMware Horizon View Agent 6.1.1.2769635
- User maps a print queue on our Windows 2012 Server, since it's a Type 4 driver on the server (Xerox WorkCentre 7970 V4 PCL6) the queue on the Windows 7 end uses a driver named "Microsoft enhanced Point and Print compatibility driver". Within the Win7 client's "Print Management" it appears as version 6.3.9600.17415.
- Printer works fine during their Windows session, they log out (so user data is saved to Persona Management share). They log back in and the print queue is still there but when you right click and go to "printer properties" it throws the following error
"The 'Microsoft enhanced Point and Print compatibility driver' printer driver is not installed on this computer. Some printer properties will not be accessible unless you install the printer driver. Do you want to install the driver now?"
Removing the queue then re-adding it fixes the issue for the Windows session you are in.
We are getting around this by using group policy and a vbs script to remove the queue on logoff then another script to re-add it on logon but that's just a band-aid.
Any thoughts?
I 'think' I've proven that it is Persona Management because I took a physical Windows 7 system and logged in as a user without administrative privileges (just like the virtual desktops) and I couldn't replicate the error across logouts.
