Re: [ActiveDir] Printer Script

[Richard Sumilang]

If I save it as a .vbs how can I have a login script and visual basic  
script run during login?

I tried that and it didn't work. I took it out of the bat file and
tried it manually and I got this error...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------
C:\Documents and Settings>Set WshNetwork =
CreateObject("WScript.Network")

C:\Documents and Settings\>WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection
"\\AnotherComputer-27\HPLaserJ"  
'WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection' is
not recognized as an
internal or external command, operable program or batch
file.





C:\Documents and Settings\>_

This is how my bat file looks like

----------------------------------------------------------------------- 
-
-------------
net use Q: \\Server\Shared

Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\ AnotherComputer-27\HPLaserJ"
WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\ AnotherComputer-27\HPLaserJ" Set  
WshNetwork
= Nothing

I am running Windows 2000 Server and all clients are Windows 2000 Pro.

Thanks

If you put that in a login script.

Has anyone wrote a script to connect a user to a shared printer on the
network when the log in? Is this possible?
