Printer vbs script at logon prompting (UAC) (help please)

[markm75]

We use a vbs scrip to install printer drivers for shared printers (on the servers)...

In Vista x64 or x86, it prompts with a warning and an option to "install driver".

The warning is something like: "To use the shared printer you need to install the printer driver on your computer. if you do not recognize or trust the name and location of the printer, do not install the driver"

Does anyone know of a way to avoid this prompt and the need for the user to click "install driver".

Thanks

Can't comment on Vista as my boxes aren't around, but on WinXP if you're on a domain then it gets around the prompt automatically. However workgroups on XP still had the same problem.

Is this a domain or a workgroup setup?

Its a domain situation, but I'm certain its due to UAC control though...

Can you adapt anything from this thread and the message handling suggestions?

I ran into this problem as well and found I had to turn UAC off.

If you have servers running R2 then you should be able to NOT get this message as I have read that it has the ability to do a remote install of the drivers.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Mark
