Lukas Beran<p>𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐓𝐎 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐁𝐋𝐄 𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐓 𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐎𝐋𝐄𝐑 𝐎𝐍 𝐃𝐎𝐌𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐑𝐒</p><p>Print Spooler is a service that takes care of print management. This includes, but is not limited to, managing printer drivers, scheduling print jobs, etc.</p><p>Print Spooler had a critical vulnerability in the past referred to as PrintNightmare (CVE-2021-34527). This vulnerability allowed attackers to execute code with administrator privileges.</p><p>The Print Spooler vulnerability was patched promptly, so if you have updated systems, the immediate risk associated with PrintNightmare is no longer present. And for normal systems, it is usually not feasible to disable Print Spooler. It would make printing impossible, which is usually not desirable.</p><p>But domain controllers are a critical part of Active Directory and need to be as secure as possible, which means blocking everything that is not needed. And you certainly should not need to print on domain controllers, so it’s a good idea to disable Print Spooler on domain controllers.</p><p>📺 Watch my YouTube video bellow on how to disable Print Spooler on Domain Controllers 👇 👇 <br><a href="https://youtu.be/O80HHKdnbcQ" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/O80HHKdnbcQ</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/cswlrd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cswlrd</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/printspooler" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>printspooler</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/domaincontrollers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>domaincontrollers</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/printnightmare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>printnightmare</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/videotutorial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>videotutorial</span></a></p>
