Protocol to use for outgoing RPC connections: -- "RPC over TCP": Use RPC over TCP for outgoing RPC connections to a remote print spooler -- "RPC over named pipes": Use RPC over named pipes for outgoing RPC connections to a remote print spooler Use authentication for outgoing RPC over named pipes connections: -- "Default": By default domain joined computers enable RPC authentication for RPC over named pipes while non domain joined computers disable RPC authentication for RPC over named pipes -- "Authentication enabled": RPC authentication will be used for outgoing RPC over named pipes connections -- "Authentication disabled": RPC authentication will not be used for outgoing RPC over named pipes connections If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the above defaults will be used.
