just write a simple login script in vbs...you can assign all networked printers to each user as they log in. see recent posts (as in the last few days), because there are many suggestions/sample scripts posted in here on this very topic. I don't remember the thread topics or I'd email you...

BUT are these user accounts, Domain accounts or Local accounts -- ie, do users log into the local machine or into a domain? From your post it sounds like everyone has a local account (or at least a local profile -- you can still log into a domain and not have a roaming profile) and this is why...

there is no built-in way (like, a command option or parameter) to pass a password to the 'runas' feature -- I've researched time and again. I did find funky scripts and stuff out there that essentially recreate the runas command and provide a way to pass in a password. Never tried them, but...

Why all the scripting? You can just set up a GPO that removes locally cached profiles (in Documents and Settings) at logoff. It doesn't touch the Default User, All Users, or Administrator profiles...just "roaming" user profiles. I'm assuming you want such a feature, because users...

Here you go... Type into notepad and save the file with .vbs extention (not .txt) -- will pop up a message box about a virus 15 times. Try it on your local station before implementing company-wide :) ---------- For i = 1 to 15 Do clickthis = MsgBox("VIRUS FOUND...COMPUTER WILL BE...

sounds like your environment is fairly big (15 servers)...why would you want to set the licensing to Per Server? Just curious, as I recently was researching this exact topic...from what I found, it sounded like once you go over a certain number of users/servers, Per Seat licensing is the mode...

is mapping drives all you need to do? or something more complex? either way, login scripts have made huge strides and are very easy to write in either the old .bat format or now in the more flexible, .vbs (vbscript) language. i prefer to use vb, but a plain old .bat works perfectly fine in...

I've searched in here, but I cannot seem to locate any definitive explanation of how to "check" a person's group membership (AD) from within a simple vbs script. I know it's possible and Technet comes close to it, but still no luck (they tell you how to "ADD" an account to...

itsfisko (and others) See my recent post to your original request for help...I explained (better) how to write that little vbs script, using your server and printer shares. As Will states, might be best to try it out with an account that definitely has Admin privileges. But, using it as a...

client of mine had this error and ended up disabling some of the hardware (sound card) and uninstalling/reinstalling the connected HP printer...problem disappeared. from the research I did, it sounds like anything from AV software to device drivers could be causing the problem (as well as, it...

Forgot to add that my printer script is written in VB Script. This is interpreted by Win2K's WSH (Windows Script Host). I suggest downloading the latest version of WSH from MSFT's web site (v5.6, I believe)...check in Technet, I don't have the exact link handy. As for the actual code, just...

Do you see it synchronizing before you log off of Exchange (Outlook)? This is set by one of the options I mentioned above, but you can also do it manually: Outlook: Tools, Synchronize, All Folders What happens when you do this? Also, check the synch logs -- these are kept in the Deleted...

I think in Global Settings | Properties, there is a Filter Tab. I think you can use this to "filter" emails coming into your Exch server from particular addresses...I was also under the impression you could divert these to a public (custom) folder, but when I looked at my System Mgr...

At some point along the way, I read that hosting Exchange on a DC is not such a great idea -- don't know why, but we originally had ours set up like that and experienced constant problems (although, our Exch server was also severely misconfig'd). My thinking is that if your DC is simply...

I remember getting this error at one point (I, too, set up our Exchange server on a member server). I don't remember what I did, but I did research on MSFT Knowledgebase...try checking this out: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q279218 Good luck. Exchange install...
