Trust me, I'm taking that approach wisely already :-)

I highly recommend that you learn all this on a SEPARATE, non-production environment until you get a hang of it. VBscript/ADSI (nay, any scripting) can be VERY much like sky-diving. If you ever have to say "ooops!", it is usually too late.

Awesome, that worked! Since this is a login script, should I then have
a logoff script that removes it when the user signs off or will it
automatically be removed when they sign off? I just wan't to avoid any
possible errors like it saying when the user logs back in next time
that the printer already exists or having it duplicate itself when the
user logs back in because it runs the login script again. Maybe I don't
have to worry about this?

Ahh - simple. Save the .vbs file in the logon scripts directory, and
add
this line to your existing logon script:

Cscript.exe %0/../addprinter.vbs

That should do it. (That's a zero not an oh, although I could be wrong
there)

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

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

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?
