What if you allow the travelling users to auto-create ICA printers. When they arrive at a remote location the local admin gives them a printer setup on their laptop. Then when they log in to your Server farm, that local printer is autocreated in the ICA session? Steve Greenberg Thin Client Computing 34522 N.

Currently : eg. All users based at Sheffield are members of the Sheffield group, the printers physically in Sheffield are shared to members of the Sheffield Group. When we scripted : eg. Checked IPaddress of client, if in sheffield map printer1 ,printer2, printer3 etc. Problems with above numerous. Particularly if there was an error with the printer, or it wasn't connected etc. We could persist with this and solve above but if there are easier routes then I would prefer not to go this way.

Scenario : WAN - 9 sites. Central site has multiple Terminal Servers(2K) to which clients at each site connect(RDP). Printers at each site are on own print servers. Security settings for printers set by user groups/OU for location members. i.e. Sheffield users can only see Sheffield printers. Problem : We have a number of Corporate users who travel from site to site. Using security groups we can give them either - No access to any of the printers, or access to all printers at all sites regardless of where they log on (this has resulted in confidential documents being printed at another site!!) - Users are losers. Nuff said. Anyway, we have tried to use logon scripts (we can pick out the location easily by IP address) to add and remove the printers dynamically on location but this tends to be a little unreliable. Question is should I persist with logon scripts as being the only way or is there a simple or complicated alternative that I've missed??? Any help much appreciated.
