You need to view the Deployed Printers node in GPO1

Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains two servers
named Server1 and Server2 that run Windows Server 2012. Server1 has the Group Policy Management
feature installed. Server2 has the Print and Document
Services server role installed.
On Server2, you open Print Management and you deploy a printer named Printer1 by using a Group Policy
object (GPO) named GPO1.
When you open GPO1 on Server1, you discover that the Deployed Printers node does not appear.
You need to view the Deployed Printers node in GPO1.
What should you do?

A.
On Server1, modify the Group Policy filtering options of GPO1.

B.
On a domain controller, create a Group Policy central store.

C.
On Server2, install the Group Policy Management feature.

D.
On Server1, configure the security filtering of GPO1.

Explanation:
Note:
* Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) is a scriptable Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in,
providing a single administrative tool for managingGroup Policy across the enterprise. GPMC is the standard
tool for managing Group Policy.
* By default, a GPO affects all users and computerscontained in the linked site, domain, or OU. However, you
can use Security Filtering on a GPO to modify its effect to apply only to a specific user or the members of a
security group by modifying the permissions on the GPO. By combining Security Filtering with appropriate
placement in OUs, you can target any given set of users.

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725938.aspx – Deploy Printers by Using Group Policy -> The following procedure assumes that you are using the version of the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) that is included with Windows Server 2008 R2. To install GPMC on Windows Server 2008 R2, use the Add Features Wizard in Server Manager. If you are using a different version of GPMC, the steps might vary slightly. You need to install GPMC on printer server in order to be able to deploy that policy. I think it’s C

  3. Pavel Gaura says:

    I believe that correct answer is B, because the reason for not seeing the Deployed Printers node on Server1 is that this is unknown GP template for this machine (see description below). When you create GP central store on a DC (and copy there appropriate templates from server where Print and Document Services role / Print Management is installed), you are able to edit GPOs from any machine in the domain (the store is then replicated between all DCs, so it does not matter which one is used for GPO editing, usually it is PDC, but you can choose other DCs as well).
    I think that Print and Document Services role installs necessary GP template to local machine’s GP store, therefore other servers cannot use this template. This template is necessary only for editing GPO, not for applying resulting GPO to clients. Therefore it depends on what server you use for editing GPOs.

    following text is copied from web tutorial.programming4.us:
    The GPOE and the GPME on Windows Vista and later include the Deployed Printers node beneath the Windows Settings node in both the Computer Configuration and User Configuration settings nodes. On Windows Server 2008 and later server OSs, the Print Management console must be installed from the Server Manager Features, Add Features link before the Deployed Printers node will be available in the Group Policy Editor consoles. If a policy contains printers defined in the Deployed Printers nodes, and the policy is viewed using the GPMC or GPME on Windows XP, the deployed printers will not be viewed. Furthermore, if the policy is opened on a Windows Server 2003 R2 server, and if the Print Management console is not installed from Windows components, the Deployed Printers node will not be shown. As a best practice, only create GPOs to deploy printers using the GPMC and GPME on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and later OSs. To install the Print Management console on Windows Server 2012, run the Add Features applet from Server Manager and select the Print and Document Services Tools from the Remote Administration Tools submenu.

    C is correct, to view the deployed printer section in the gpo editor, print service must be on the server from which you run the gpo console.
    So either you install print services on server1 (nit one of the answers listed) or install the gpo cinsole on server2.
    I ran in this issue in the past, i had to do just that.

    Pre-Requisites

    To use Group Policy for printer deployment you will need to have a Windows Active Directory domain, and this article assumes that your Domain Controller is a Windows 2008 R2 Server. You will also need the Print Services role installed on a server (can be on your DC), and you will be using the Print Management and Group Policy Management consoles to configure the various settings. Its assumed that you have already followed Part One and have one or more printers shared on your server with the necessary drivers, ready to deploy to your client computers.

    The wording does not say if GPMC is installed on server 2, so I can only think that it does not deploy the GPO because it had no GPMC on server 2..

    GPMC is not installed by default:

      correct!
      in addition:
      We can create a GPO without GPMC, we need only GPO Editor
      “If you have the Print Server role installed on the server, you should be able to access the Print Management Admin tool from Server manager –> Tools.
      When you open the admin console…
      In the left pane, click Print Servers, click the applicable print server, and click Printers.
      In the center pane, right-click the applicable printer, and then click Deploy with Group Policy. In the Deploy with Group Policy dialog box, click Browse, and then choose or create a new GPO for storing the printer connections.

      Specify whether to deploy the printer connections to users, or to computers:
      Click Add.
      Click OK.”

      But we need GPMC for publish gpo in domain

    This question just helped me solve an issue I have been having for the last 5 years, where printers deployed via GPO from the print server don’t show in the group policy on the print server.

    this was effecting 2008, 2008r2 2012 and 2012r2

    The correct answer is C install the Group Policy Management Console on the Print server

    It’s a tricky question, it’s doesn’t say you have view it from server1, so 2 approaches:

    Server1 -> install print & document services tools (or print management server role) -> view deployed printer from server1

    server2 -> install GMPC -> view deployed printer from server1 (Answer C)
