It seems no longer are printers being copied from the source profile to Default User when I am setting the default profile.

How can I populate the default profile with the printers I need to?

To note.. I was always able to just install the printers via the old default profile.. now all of a sudden, the printers just don't carry over now..

not sure what gives.. I have verified in the NTUSER.dat file in Default User that the printers exist there in the registry.. but when the new profile is created there are no printers, and the part of the registry where they would be does not list them either.

And before anyone wastes their time on this.. I figured it out..

It was pulling part of the new profiles from our NETLOGON\Default User folder even on non-roaming profiles..

Removed this and the problem dissapeared.
