We have a network with Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Servers and a print server, and experience printing problems every morning which disappear after a while. The IT department seems to have no idea what the reason could be.
The users connect using RDP and configure their printers using \\domain\printerId.
Is it recommended to use the FQDN instead? (\\my.domain.local\printerId)?
Why not just try it out and see if it solves your problem?
In general, I am in favour of FQDN's over Netbios names.
