Make sure you put a line in the Logon Script (Under the Profile tab on
the User properties of Active Directory) that says KIX32

We always create our KIX script.  Open a command prompt.  Move to the
drive letter where the KIXTART.KIX script is located.  Type in KIX32 and
let the script run after each change.  This helps to ensure that the
updated script is the one that is running.

This list has a bunch of people who are great at KIX scripting.  If you
don't find (or understand) something in the manual, a quick post here
should get you the results you need.

Hope this helps

        how about if you "don't" have KIX?  Can this be done with a
simple batch file as well?

                If you are using KIX, you can put this in their logon
script.  This works well in an Active Directory environment.  Create a
group for each printer.  Add the people who need each printer to each
group.  Put a line in the KIX script like this (which will also delete
the name of the old print server from their profile).

                if ingroup("NameofPrinterGroup")

                            DELPRINTERCONNECTION
("\\OldPrintServerName\PrinterName")

                            ADDPRINTERCONNECTION
("\\PrintServerName\PrinterName")

                endif

                 

                If you add this under the Add statement, you can also
set their default (everybody in the group gets this though)

                            SETDEFAULTPRINTER
("\\LMS2KDATA\LSENGHP4050")

                
                Hope this helps

                Hello,

                 

                I am looking to replace our existing NT print server for
10 printers. We connect our users manually to the printers. Once I
complete the replacement I was wondering if there was any was to connect
my users to the printers without having to sit at every desk and
manually connect them. The new server will be running windows 2000
server with Active Directory. Can anyone give me some advice on how to
handle it and does anyone know of any immediate problems I may have?

                 

                 

                Thanks in advance...

                 

                Paul
