Adding Printers via Logon Script

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.active_directory (More info?)

Hi Vince,

You should look at the Con2prt.exe that is used for this exact thing. This
was a utility from that NT4 resource kit that still works perfectly -- this
is often used in TS or Citrix implementations. You can download the utility
from the Microsoft website.

It is really easy to use and can set printers as well as the default
printer. Put this in a script pushed through a GPO filtered by Computer
group to achieve the effect you are looking for.

Let me know if you've got questions.
