The plot twist here is that the print spooler runs as SYSTEM on domain controllers where there is special guidance not to ever disable it on these most critical dedicated servers:

Print Spooler: OK to disable if not a print server or a DC
- tyingq 5y agoAhh, a domain controller is responsible for pruning invalid print queues in ActiveDirectory.

- sebazzz 5y agoIs it OK to disable it on a domain where no printing happens?
