A colleague has asked me if we can lockdown the ability for user to
publish printers in AD.

Given that the printers exist as child printQueue objects beneath the
corresponding computer object, I'm assuming we'd need to control who has
access to manipulate the computer object.

What permissions are required on a computer object in order that a user
may publish a printer attached to that computer?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
neil

There is a "Create/Delete Printer Object" I would start by denying that.

But who are you going to deny? That would depend on who is doing the actual
publishing. My guess that would be the server, not the user. And denying the
server is probably not what you want.

Don't deny. Just control who is allowed.

Keep in mind that (I'm 99% sure) it is the COMPUTER that publishes the printer when automatic publishing is enabled. So what you REALLY want to do is

1) Control who can SHARE printers (sharing à publishing by default)

2) OR turn off automatic printer publishing (Group Policy) and create printQueue objects manually (I recommend in a SEPARATE OU for manageability & delegation)

The OP question was "lockdown the ability for user to publish printers in
AD" in this case you want to use Deny as you don't want other permissions
overriding it. (You do NOT however want to deny a group that would contain
your Admins.)

I would deny the user(s) not the Computers and disable Auto Publish.
I don't believe the act of publishing is done in the context of the machine,
but in is in the context of the user(s). Unless of course the Auto Print
Publishing is enabled. Haven't tested it.
Recommendations would be
- Disable Auto Printer Publishing (as per Dan)
- Explicitly (setting Deny) specific user(s) for the Create Printer Object.
Or
- Implicitly (remove any rights) deny the specific users for the Create
Printer Object. (IMO... This is less precise in intent, but effectively the
same result)

Perhaps I over thought this a bit... There is a GPO to stop this
Allow Printers to be Published.
This will remove the ability from the computer side... I suppose you could
still do via script which the mod'ing the permissions would resolve.

In several companies I have seen this only as a problem with client OS
machines... I.E. Bob with his XP machine publishes a printer. No one had an
issue with servers publishing printers, it was workstations. So the solution
there is to have server machine accounts segregated from client computer
accounts and lock down creation of printer objects entirely in the client
branches. Yes this has to be taken away from the computer itself because
that is what does the publishing, not the user.

If your problem is more some printers can be published on some clients and
some on some servers, then your issue is entirely more complicated with
fewer solutions available.

A colleague has asked me if we can lockdown the ability for user to publish

Given that the printers exist as child printQueue objects beneath the
corresponding computer object, I'm assuming we'd need to control who has
access to manipulate the computer object.

What permissions are required on a computer object in order that a user may
publish a printer attached to that computer?

Any ideas?

It's not that complicated! Turn off auto printer publishing on a GPO
scoped to the machines you are concerned about (i.e. the workstations).
I'm *VERY* confident it's done in the security context of the system b/c
it's "refreshed" automatically - not just at initial sharing - so it has
nothing to do with the user (except that the user has admin privileges
on their machine L allowing them to share a printer in the first place).

The publishing runs in the context of the spooler service so I would expect
it's the machine account doing it.

Many thanks for the (as usual) great feedback!

I like the idea of stopping the auto publish of shared printers. I guess
we can then manually publish those that need to be published.

Food for thought.

Thanks again,
neil

Turning that off doesn't "lockdown the ability for user to publish printers
in AD".

It just stops the automatic occurance of that happening.

If mod'ing the AD permission is not a good solution wouldn't using "Allow
Printers to be Published" set to disabled be the next best thing?

Depends on what the real goal is.

If the goal is actually "lockdown the ability for user to publish printers
in AD" then the answer is no. If the goal is to make it so printers don't
automatically pop up in the directory, then yes.

Disabling auto publishing isn't locking anything down, it is preventing a
certain automatic function from occurring sort of like the reg key you can
set to prevent computers from changing their passwords. Lockdown has a very
specific meaning in the context of security. It doesn't mean prevent this
one method, it means prevent period.

For example, say you don't want people creating users. Is it enough to
prevent ADUC from displaying user as an object type they can instantiate?
Strictly speaking no, there are an unlimited number of other ways to go
about the work. If the idea is simply I don't want people creating users in
ADUC, sure it is enough.

Microsoft is actually semi-famous for doing security like that. Go back to
UMfD and look at the administrators group as a normal user. You couldn't do
it, but if you knew how to use net localgroup or had some other tool that
used the API for displaying local groups you could totally see the
membership. They did it again with hidden computer accounts or if you were
bright hidden user accounts in NT4, you append a $, the GUI won't display.
We saw that in Exchange 2000+ as well, everyone was running around thinking
you needed at least Exchange View rights to mailbox enable a user when in
fact all you needed was the ability to write two attributes on a user
object. You could drop me in an environment where I have no Exchange rights
but have rights to edit or create users and I expect I can make your
Exchange system run very poorly.

If the goal is to truly stop users from creating printer objects, unchecking
that check box does nothing to prevent that. I could sit down at a
workstation and create hundreds of thousands of printer objects unless there
was something else put into place to stop me.

It just stops the automatic occurance of that happening.

It's not that complicated! Turn off auto printer publishing on a GPO scoped
to the machines you are concerned about (i.e. the workstations). I'm *VERY*
confident it's done in the security context of the system b/c it's
"refreshed" automatically - not just at initial sharing - so it has nothing
to do with the user (except that the user has admin privileges on their
machine L allowing them to share a printer in the first place).

If your problem is more some printers can be published on some clients and
some on some servers, then your issue is entirely more complicated with
fewer solutions available.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Rights required to publish printer in AD

A colleague has asked me if we can lockdown the ability for user to publish
printers in AD.

Given that the printers exist as child printQueue objects beneath the
corresponding computer object, I'm assuming we'd need to control who has
access to manipulate the computer object.

What permissions are required on a computer object in order that a user may
publish a printer attached to that computer?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
neil

I am not talking about the auto creation... I am talking about the "Allow
Printers to be Published"

"Determines whether the computer's shared printers can be published in
Active Directory.
If you enable this setting or do not configure it, users can use the "List
in directory" option in the Printer's Properties' Sharing tab to publish
shared printers in Active Directory.
If you disable this setting, this computer's shared printers cannot be
published in Active Directory, and the "List in directory" option is not
available.
Note: This settings takes priority over the setting "Automatically publish
new printers in the Active Directory"."
But... I do agree with you. If the goal is TRULY lockdown then mod'ing AD
Permission is the only solution.

If security by obscurity is acceptable then setting "Allow Printers to be
Published" to Disabled would be effective.
