Hello,

We have about 200 users and need them to be connected to some new printers
in the office. To same me some time i decided that it would be advantagous
to role these out using a batch file logon script. Does anyone out there
know of a script that i can use??

The print server i use is a W2K3 server and clients are Win2K / XP

Any help, is appriciated

Regards,

Gareth

You can use 2 resource kit utilities to assign printers based on group
membership. Works very well if your users work primarily from the same
computer all the time. This is not a good solution for roaming users. The
utilities are ifmember and con2prt. You should be able to find some info on
these utilities within the resource kit. Below is a sample batch file that
can be called from a login script.

ifmember "Printer1"
if errorlevel 1 goto :Printer1

ifmember "Printer2"
if errorlevel 1 goto :Printer2

goto :END

:Printer1
con2prt /cd \\comp1\HR_22KCL
NET USE LPT1: \\comp1\HR_22KCL /PERSISTENT:NO
goto :END


:Printer2
ifmember "Domain Admins"
if errorlevel 1 goto :Printer2S
con2prt /f
:Printer2S
con2prt /c \\comp2\HPDesign800PS
con2prt /cd \\comp2\02_clr1
goto :END

:END

Gareth,

You could use KIX32. The script would then look like this:

;*************************
IF INGROUP ("Printer_ADGroup")
AddPrinterConnection ("\\SERVER\Printername")
ENDIF
;*************************

Can kix32 evaluate groups that contain computers as members?
