Disable Strict Name Checking

I have a 2008r2 print server, we’ll call ‘fileserver1’ that has printers shared off of it.
When printers are mapped to workstations I like to use a CNAME or A record in DNS using a different name than the server name. (Like PrintServer, PrintSVR, etc)

To map printers, and drives, using a CNAME you’ll need to disable Strict Name Checking on the server.
Edit the registry like this:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters and add a value DisableStrictNameChecking of type DWORD set to 1.

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print and add a value DnsOnWire of type DWORD set to 1
