I am new the concept of scripting for printers but could someone give
a brief overview of how to script the (first) removal of printers
logging on a domain (AD W2K) and then the installation of printers via
a group policy?

Thanks,

Brad

I am currently working on migrating from 2000 to 2003. It took me som
time but I have the add printer portion of what you are looking for.
Here is the text from the bat file that I use to add the networ
printer

@echo off
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n "\\printserver\printer"

You can assign this as a logon script to certain users, but I wanted t
assign the add printer bat file to certain computers. Here's how:

-Pick OU you want to work with
-Create Group Policy Object.
-Two settings in group policy object
1. Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, System Grou
Policy, User Group Policy Loop Back Processing Mode.
2. User configuration, windows settings, scripts. Point to th
add/remove script from above (of course my script just adds th
printer.

You'll need to put the PC you want to affect in the OU you are workin
with. Whenever any user logs into that PC they will have the printe
in the script.

Hope this helps
