What I want to be able to do is remotely install printers
on an individual basis. Lets say I have 20 users in an OU
& I have to install a printer to 5 of the users, is there
a way to do so from my machine. Not so much in a log on
script, but something from the command prompt. In other
words is there a way to say get a printer from
\\server\printer & install it on \\workstation22\printers ?

Thanks
