Changelog

Version 1.0.3

First public release.

Assign and enforce

• Fixed default printer per Active Directory user or group; groups with priority, nested groups are taken into account.
• Order: direct user assignment → group assignment with the smallest priority → no change.
• Assignments are stored with the SID – renaming users or groups is not a problem.
• Logon agent as a scheduled task (triggers: logon and RDP reconnect), invisible in the user’s context; at most one instance per session.
• Logon phase: checks every 3 seconds for 120 seconds; optional monitoring for the whole session (default: every 30 seconds).
• Turns off “Let Windows manage my default printer” per user; optional RDS policy fForceClientLptDef = 0.
• Connects missing network printers (\\server\share) automatically.
• Supports network printers, local printers and redirected client printers with wildcards.
• Default printer read and set via the Windows API (GetDefaultPrinter/SetDefaultPrinter), so it is correct in RDP sessions too.

Languages

• Setup wizard, admin console, installer, updater and agent log in English and German.
• The setup wizard asks for the language first (default: English); installer parameter -Language en|de.
• Language changeable in the admin console settings; it applies to all servers via the configuration, running agents pick it up live.
• Own app icon for all windows and the shortcut.

Setup, update, uninstall

• Graphical setup wizard (Setup.cmd): configuration local or central on a share (with write test), printers from the print server with driver preselection, options, installation with live log.
• Update by double-click (Update.cmd), keeps all settings and shows the system check.
• Command-line installer with parameters; clean uninstall.
• Optional Authenticode signing (self-signed or company CA, optional timestamp) and start with -ExecutionPolicy AllSigned.

Admin console

• Tabs: Assignments, Printer list, Check user, Setup (system check with fixes), Settings, Guide.
• “Force (live)”: step-by-step remote diagnostics for one user on a terminal server.
• PowerShell module with Get-/Set-/Remove-WpeAssignment and CSV bulk import, Invoke-WpeRemoteForce.
• Configuration written atomically, previous version kept as config.json.bak.

Quality

• Unit tests (Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell 7) and integration tests run automatically on Windows Server 2025 on every push.
