What system are you running them on?

[Lateralus]

How are your supplies of jam?

[fabyak]

Are they shared off servers as well or are they standalone (but networked jobbers)?

[amblin]

.

[fabyak]

In that case:

CSCRIPT \\server04\c$\windows\system32\prnmngr.vbs -ac -p "\\server04\Kyocera FS-3820N"

Should do the trick

Otherwise if you have an active directory add that into a login script but sub in \\server04\c$\windows for %windir%

You missed one

Code: Select all

if exist z: net use o: /delete

[fabyak]

If that's an AD login script, change the

CSCRIPT \\server04\c$\windows\system32\prnmngr.vbs -ac -p "\\server04\Kyocera FS-3820N"

to

CSCRIPT %windir%\system32\prnmngr.vbs -ac -p "\\server04\Kyocera FS-3820N"

Oh, i posted this in the disco board.

Create DSNs without 3rd party executables (eeew security risk)

I wrote a login script that used to map printers depending on group membership.

So being a member of say "ggSales" would map printers in and around the sales department. If this is of interest I can try and find it, hopefully I'll have archived it somewhere.

I was actually doing this for the first time about 3 days ago so your timing is quite remarkable!

If you follow that script I linked, it is creating the DSN by writing to the registry. You could easily reverse engineer it, so to speak.

Create a valid Advantage DSN.

Find it in the registry.

Alter the code of the script to write the Advantage DSN registry keys (it will have extra keys and things I think)

Put code in login script.

...

Profit



Edit: Oh you fixed it as I was typing this.
