Setup default printers for users?

How do I setup default printers for users of the network within Windows
Server 2003? That is, when a user logs on, I want all printers that I setup
to AUTOMATICALLY show up in their list of Printers and Faxes.

Hi Marvin,

Personally I use logon on startup scripts. This is one example of such
script.

***********************************************
Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\Primus\HP4500"
WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\Primus\HP4500"
***********************************************

Leave last line out if you don't want the printer to be the default one.

I hope this helps,

Mike

How to setup a default printer based on a network group

' Add a network printer if the computer is a member of the group.
' Make this printer the default.
If IsMember(objComputer, "information_system") Then
objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\chicagotech\cc041hp4050"
objNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\chicagotech\cc041hp4050"
End If

Hi Phillip,

How do I tell the Windows server (DNS client) to use the encryption key pair
which is generated by the BIND server.

Thanks
