Can not publish printers in Active Directory

When I share the printer on my 2000 server and click the
box to publish to active directory I get an error
that "The Printer Settings can not be saved. Directory
is not available." I was able to share one printer and
publish it but latter when I did it with a second this
started. I cannot figure out what I have changed to
cause this but any ideas would be helpful.

Also if anyone has information on how to automatically
assign printers to workstations in Active Directory with
out the user installing them I would be interested.
Weather it be a way to setup a group I can make them
members of or login scripts or any other ways.

Thanks

This publishing issue sounds like a DNS issue. Can you run netdiag on the
server and send the results over?

As far as assigning printers, you'll have to write a custom logon script ot
do that.

I checked out Mircrosoft tool scriipting, and I did not see any that shows
how to make printer scripting. Do you have a template that you can share with
us. Thanks !
