AVD RDP printer redirection settings not honored
Has anyone else noticed their users getting local printers being redirected for last couple of weeks?
Despite having client RDP settings set to not. This results in GPO deployed default printers being overwritten.
We have noticed this on two host pools (10 and 11 SH OS and client OS).
We reapplied the settings and even manually in Azure AVD settings but still happened. You can manually change it in web client and it does honor that, but all our users either use the client or Windows App.
In the end I had to add this reg key to the Session Hosts via GPO to force it to not redirect.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal Services
You can create a new DWORD (32-bit) value called fDisablePrinterRedirection and set it to 1.
Assume this is just a temporary bug but may help others.
