Adding printers automatically using Active Directory

Hi,

I have a question. Let's say I have 5 printers connected to my domain. If
a new user logs in to the domain, he needs to add all those 5 printers
manually. Is there a way to do this automatically like using some settings in
Active Directory? In that case, each new user doesn't need to add printers
manually. Please let me know.

Thanks,
Sridhar
 
You can use the Print Management Console in W2K3R2. To be able to distribute
printer connections you need to update the schema of the forest first.

If you have W2K now
ADPREP /FORESTPREP on the schema master (update schema)
ADPREP /DOMAINPREP on the infrastructure master (update domain)
ADPREP /DOMAINPREP /GPPREP on the infrastructure master (update domain and
SYSVOL) (domain is only updated when it has not been updated previously by
ADPREP /DOMAINPREP)

If you have W2K3 now:
ADPREP /FORESTPREP on the schema master (update schema)
