Hi Experts,
I have setup and installed the drivers for 'Samsung SCX-4300 Series' Printer on the windows server 2008 at work.
Done Sharing it.
I want to Deploy this printer automatically on any client(user) that's on the domain created on the server, when the user logs into his/her account.
I created a GPO for this, and in the User Configurations, Logon section, I included the following Script file.
I actually tried out two script files (one at a time ofcourse):
1) I created a .bat file and stored the following script in it
CSCRIPT C:\Windows\System32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US\prnmngr.vbs -ac -p \Serv2K8\Samsung SCX-4300 Series
where Serv2k8 is my server name and Samsung SCX-4300 Series is my printer share name.
i tried login into a user on the domain but it didnt work. no printer was detected.
2) I created a vbs file with the following VBS script
'
' Printers.vbs - Windows Logon Script.
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\Serv2k8\Samsung SCX-4300 Series"
this script runs fine when i run it on the client. The printer is detected.
But when i include the sciprt in the Logon section on the server and login into the client, it doesnt work.
also, when i login on the admin on the server, i get an error stating that the vbs script has an error in it.
I need some help on this.
Can anyone shed some light on this?.. I believe my GPO setting is correct, but i'd appreciate it if somone can give me a step by step procedure of this.
Thanking YOu,
Regards,
Richard.
