Add printer scrupt.

[ozmoeugene]

I would like to add a script to the windows server 2003 environment. This script would load a printer for a user based on the group.

Where would I put this script;
1. In the startup for this group on the server?
2. In the startup for the group on each client machine?


If that is not correct above, please let me know where.

If you have a sample script that adds a printer, perferrably in Visual Basic, Please post it so that I can see an idea of a working script.

All Ideas accepted.

Thanks ahead of time.

You would put it in neither of those locations, you would put it in a logon script. Heres a sample of a script its pretty basic and you can add multiple printers.

If you break the users setup into different OU or you could use some sort of IF command along with this script.

Take a look at MS script site or google search if you want to find more scripts.
