RDP Troubleshooting Event ID 1107 - TerminalServices-Printer : Fixed by disabling printer redirection

  • Article

Scenario

We were getting these RDP slowness issue on one of our DC with print server role (lot or printer).

after all investigation, we have found event id : 1107 was the reason caused this issue.

Solution

We can do this by GPO (multiple machine) or Terminal Service Console.

Using GPO

  • Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Printer Redirection
  • Set “Do not allow client printer redirection” to Enabled

Registry

  • Open the following path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Policies > Microsoft > Windows NT > Terminal Services
  • Create a new DWORD named “fDisableCpm” and set its value to 1

I preferred the administrative console as only one server in my scenario.

  • Administrative Tools > Terminal Services > Terminal Services Configuration 
  • Right click on RDP-TCP 
  • Click on Properties
  • Under "Client Settings" tab 
  • Under "Redirection – Disable the following" 
  • Check the "Windows Printer"
