Hello everybody,

I have the strange problem that in some (only in some!) of the systems I
support, adding printers is only possible for Domain-admins. There seems to
be no way of granting these rights through group policy or anything else I
can think of.

This applies to printers to be added manually or through a script.

Does anybody know a way of granting these rights without making users to
admins? This is important, because I run a script for adding all printers
and setting the default printer at the beginning of each TS-Session to
ensure the printers are set properly.

Thanks for all hints

Ole
 
With the defaults permissions of printers. Your users should be available to
add printers self. or you can script them within a logon script within a
GPO:


Script Code from TechNet Script Center

Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\PrintServer1\Xerox300"
WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter \\PrintServer1\Xerox300

If you plan to work with script solutions visit TechNet Script Center
