I've spent the last two days scouring the web for a
solution to this, and all I've found are scripts that work
per user, but not per machine. Perhaps it's a permissions
setting, but here goes.
I work in a school. Each classroom has a printer. Users
(students) use multiple computers in multiple rooms
throughout the day. Computers are grouped into OUs based
on room. Each machine needs to print to the printer in
its room. The printers need to be installed by default.
I want to assign them per machine
I know that Policy Maker can do this, but my boss won't
spring for it.
I've swept this forum for script solutions, as well as
TechNet, but although all the scripts I found seem to work
when I'm logged in as a user, none of them work when run
as a startup script. They *run*, but they don't do
anything.
I don't want to use a logon script that assigns printers
based on computer names, so please don't suggest that.
For reasons too complicated to explain here, the machines
will all share similar names with unique numbers (MS-CLASS-
###). I need to assign a printer on a per machine level.
Since I'm currently running a Startup script, I'm
wondering if it's some kind of permissions issue?
(Startup scripts run as LocalSystem)
What have I missed?
Thanks!
