Heres my Dilemea:
Im to build a small network of say 16 workstations, 4 servers and 2 printers spread across 2 sites with users who use both sites.
Now the sites have the same layout regarding the network E.G:
8 Workstations
2 Servers (Exchange and Data, both Domain Controllers)
1 Printer
Now I want to setup logon scripts associated with the computers so when the users logon they are attatched to the local printer, but i want them to be able to access their own data.
Now obviously each user will have 'common work place' ie an office they're usually at. I'll try to set it out:
Site A:
Comptuers 1-8
Printer 1
MAILSRV-SITE-A
DATASRV-SITE-A
Users 1-8
Site B
Computers 9-16
Printer 2
MAILSRV-SITE-B
DATASRV-SITE-B
Users 9-16
Scenario:
User 1 is at Site B today and needs to access her data at 'Site A', but also needs to use Printer 2.
I can successfully setup links for each users 'My Documents' folder in the Group Policy Settings (havent tested this from another site though) but I am having difficulty getting a script to run that removes a users previous printers and adds one for the computer they are using. I have a script that works (rather a bat file that opens multiple VBScripts, firstly to remove all network printers then secondly adding the one it needs), i just cant seem to get it to run on a computer when a user logs in!
Hope some one can shed some light on this!
