Connecting everyone to a shared printer?

[m4cc45]

I can't for the life of me remember how to do this.

I used to use a tool that is basically a template for the Group Policy.

However I have a shared printer as such:

\\new-server\printer

How can I get every user to connect to this everytime they logon?

Cheers,


M

prolly not the nicest way, but you can do it on a login script:

net use lpt1: \\servername\sharename

That'd just map a port though, surely?

Either Server 2003 R2 makes it easy with its new Print Management Console, or you could use a bit of VBS:

On Error Resume Next

Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")

objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\new-server\printer"
