Logon scripts for printing

Hi Guys,

Been watching the forums for the pass few months and decided to post for the first time.

I want to use vb script to map printers when users logon to there PC's. What i want to achieve is to have one script if possible that will include every printer but will only install the printer relevant to each room.

Can anyone please help with this problem?

Cheers
Len.

Hi ThomasMC,

Thanks for the info but the problem is i have 12 OU's within each OU there are 4 rooms with 4 printers in each. What i want to acheive is to use VBS Longon and link the script at each OU and have the printer created for each room independent of every other room.

Thanks

Len

Well you could fiter how the script is executed with security groups. Basically if you create a security group in AD, call it RoomA (or whatever) and add the computer accounts that are in that room to the security group you can then use the groups in the script.

In the script it will be something like...


If computer member of RoomA then add printer else do nothing



RIP UCM
