What has everyone found to be the best way to add certain printers on client computers automatically according to group membership?

I've tried vbscripts and modifying printui.dll with a batch file, but both of these require admin privileges, which I don't want to give my users.

Ideas?

i've written a logon-script that map a network printer....

Tomorrow when i get to work i post it.


You dont need to be an admin to connect a printer (i believe ).

The method is in thw WSHnetwork object.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Option Explicit
Dim objNet

Set objNet = CreateObject("WScript.Network")

bjNet.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\SERVER_NAME\PRINTER1"
objNet.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\SERVER_NAME\PRINTER2"

Thanks a lot Rtano, I will test this.

I get an error in line 4, character 1 (Permission denied)...and I'm no VB expert. Help?

[Rtano]

maybe it's THE permission problem talked before....try running this script as an Admin.
