The New Shared Printer Properties dialog box
When you use preferences to map a printer, you have four choices for an action, as follows:
■
Create
Creates a new local printer. If a local printer with the same name already
exists, it makes no changes.
■
Delete
Removes a local printer of the same name if it exists without removing the
printer driver. No action is taken if the printer doesn't exist.
■
Replace
Combines the actions of Delete and Create.
■
Update
Similar to Replace, but also updates the settings defined for the printer.
Configuring item-level targeting
Before you go any further to cover other preference items, let's cover item-level targeting,
introduced in Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8. You can use item-level targeting to
narrow the scope of preference items to only certain computers or users within the overall
scope of the GPO.
The targeting items that you can configure and use are these:
■
Battery Present
■
Computer Name
■
CPU Speed
■
Date Match
■
Disk Space
■
Domain
■
Environment Variable
■
File Match
