Make sure the Windows Server installations are installed with the latest cumulative Windows Updates. To disable the Printer Spooler service on Domain Controllers, make sure to meet the following requirements: System Requirements When you disable the Print Spooler service on the Domain Controllers, printers will no longer be automatically pruned.Īs a consequence, Active Directory admins will manually have to delete published printers at the end of the lifecycle of these printers. If the Allow pruning of published printers setting is Enabled or Not configured, Domain Controllers in your networking environment prune published printers from this print server. When the computer that published the printers restarts, it republishes any deleted printer objects. By default, the pruning service on the Domain Controller prunes printer objects from Active Directory if the computer that published them does not respond to contact requests. The Allow pruning of published printers setting determines whether the Domain Controller can prune (that is, delete from Active Directory) the printers that are published by this computer. If the Printers node is not present, than there is no Group Policy targeting settings in this node, All relevant settings are Not configured.

In this case, the Print Spooler service can be abused to compromise a fully patched Windows Server 2019-based Domain Controller from a regular domain user’s account giving full system privileges. It changes the default behavior of products and services to make them more resilient to unauthorized changes and compromise. Not a big change, but there may be some negative impact in your specific scenario.ĭisabling the Print Spooler service provides additional an additional layer to defense in depth approaches. Luckily, the vulnerability can be easily thwarted with a simple configuration change on Domain Controllers disabling the Print Spooler service.
This is actually already happening in the real world, leading to a ‘zero day’ vulnerability event. Today, the news reached me that CVE-2021-1675 is weaponized to compromise Domain Controllers.
