Unable to remove a GPO deployed printer from client machines
we upgrading our "office server" shares print server windows server 2003 r2 to windows server 2008 r2.
to test migration process decided migrate 1 printer , see how goes on. although migration succesfull, unable remove old printer connection old server.
the old printer deployed using site policy under user config > policies > windows settings > printer connections. when came migrate printer used print manager on w2k8 server , exported config/drivers/port , imported them on new server, deleted printer conenction in gpo removed printers control panel on users machines , deleted port, printer , share off old server.
deployed printer on new server using print mangement on win2k8 (this great!) and users started receiving deployment - great! however, old server offline, users have got greyed out printer yellow exclamation mark pointing old printer on old server, don't have gpo's anywhere deploying , it's not present within site policy nor can port or printer removed (access denied). printer doesnt appear in registry either when browsing current control set. appreciated!
thanks

i can confirm seeing error of printer being deployed shouldnt be.
we also unable remove phantom printer. says domain admin or local admin user doesnt have enough priveledge remove printer. deploying mixture of x86, x64 windows 7 machines through gp using printer deployment tool.
i can add though that on xp machines printer deployed can removed.
thanks
