AD DS Printer Publishing: Allow the spooler to republish the print queue

Microsoft.Windows.Server.10.0.PrintServer.PrintQueue.ADDSPrinterPublishing.System.Allowthespoolertorepublishtheprintqueue.EventBased.UnitMonitor (UnitMonitor)

Allow the spooler to republish the print queue.

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

The print queue is missing from Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), and the print spooler will attempt to republish it. No user action is required for the print spooler to republish the print queue.

Configuration

The monitor takes a single configuration parameter that controls whether the “Print Spooler” should be monitored when enable the “Microsoft-Windows-PrintService/Admin and Microsoft-Windows-PrintService/Operational” Event logs and restart event log service. By default, the “Print Spooler” Monitor will be monitored only If the “Microsoft-Windows-PrintService/Admin and Microsoft-Windows-PrintService/Operational" Event logs are Enabled.

Resolutions

If the spooler fails to republish the print queue, the spooler will log another event with more information.
