Dears,

I've an issue with installing drivers on windows 7 which keep asking for permission to add the printer driver on other hand i haven't faced this issue with XP clients.

My AD is windows server 2003 I've disabled point and print restrictions from the group policy User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\Printers and deployed it on windows 7 clients but without any success. same, elevation prompts keep showing up.

Note that i don't have the following option on my AD policy :

Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Printers : Point and Print Restrictions

Thank you for your time. :)

You need to disable point and print restrictions in the policy you mentioned above. Open the group policy management console from a machine with Windows Vista/2008 or later and the policy will be there.

As an aside, it's been almost a year that 2003 has been out of support, and almost two years for XP. It's really time to upgrade.

  • We're working to change all our PCs to Win7. and the AD of course but until we change the AD I need to fix this issue. As mentioned i've already disabled point and print restrictions but without any effects on the clients!

I agree with MDMarra and you need to disable ( disallow installation of printers using kernel-mode drivers). you can read Allowing Standard Users to Install Network Printers and Configure GPO

Thank you guys for helping. I've used RSAT (Microsoft Remote Server Administration Tools) to got what I want and it did solve my issue.

Now the following option is available for me to disable even though with Win Server 2003: Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Printers : Point and Print Restrictions
