Adding Network Printers using a "Startup" script.

[Dragonfly]

I have created the following policy to be run at the OU
level on:
Computer Configuration, Windows Settings, Scripts, Startup.

'VBScript Test to add Printers

Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\Server01
\ITLaserJet4100N"
Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\Server01
\ITColourPrinter"
Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\Server01
\Accounts Printer"

However, the printers are not been added
during "startup". If I double click on the script, the
printers will be added.

In the security settings for this policy, I have the
following ticked:

Authenticated Users: Read, Write
Creator Owner: Blank
Domain Admins: Read, Write, Create All Child Objects,
Delete All Child Objects
Enterprise Admin: As for Domain Admins
System: As for Domain Admins.

Do I need to add any more groups to this Security Group?
At the moment, no-one has the "Apply Group Policy" ticked.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanking you in advance.

Why are you running this on computer startup ? Do this on a Users Setting as
logon script and assign this policy to users OU. It is better this way. Make
sure, that users have Read + Apply policy right on the GPO.
