I am running Windows 2003 server SBS. Whenever I install a printer on the
server, it automatically installs the printer on each client on the domain,
how do I stop this from happening?

Thanks
 
On the PCs in question, in Windows Explorer, Tools, Folder Options,
View...... uncheck the box Automatically Search for Network Folders and
Printers.
 
That answerds the question perfectly Cari. Now to go into further details,
one of the printers installed on the Server is somehow setting the clients
default printer to that particular printer. Is there a setting in Server 2K3
that would automatically set a printer to default on the clients?
 
You probably need to ask that one in the Servers newsgroups:

microsoft.windows.server.xxxxxx
