How to create a login Script to assign a defualt printer.

[Michael]

I want to have a users defualt printer to be set at logon.
What would be the script for this? This script goes in the
logon.bat correct?

Thank You
Michael

If you already have a login script that's called logon.bat, then that
would be the place to define the default printer, yes.

You'll need some sort of utility to do this:
Defprint.exe controls local printers, Con2prt.exe controls
network printers, or use a KiXtart script.

Examples (check for correct syntax!)

if %clientname% == CLIENT01 con2prt.exe \\TS\printer01

if "%Clientname%"=="CLIENT01" DefPrint.exe /d "HP OfficeJet"

if %clientname% = "CLIENT01"
SetDefaultPrinter ("\\TS\printer01")
endif

Defprint.exe can be downloaded here:

con2prt.exe is part of the NT Resource Kit.
KiXtart can be downloaded from http://www.kixtart.org
