Hi Sorin,
I have got the script to connect network printers. Stage 1 done, now I would
like to modify the script to check for OU membership before connecting the
printers. I am hing to do this for 7 different printers in 7 different room.
Like you said I tried running this script as a startup script and it would not
work so I am sticking to logon script.
Thanks
Patrick

Come to think of it, I assume you share the printers on a printer server,
right?
Wouldn't it be the easiest to add print permissions on the security tabs on
the queues themselves, assuming you have the users in particular OU:s,
depending on location at your site?
OTOH, this might not be trivial if you have hundreds of printers...
