Printer settings in User Profiles!

[Long Nguyen]

Hi,

We set up default profiles in AD for the students so they
all have the same profiles when logging to the domain. We
ran into problems when we tried to install printers.
Since all students use the same generic username to log
in but they can log in on different computers using
different printers. How can I still maintain the default
user profile but set up different printers in different
labs?

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

What you'll need is a loopback policy setup in each of your lab OUs which
runs a logon script to add the printer mapping. The method you're going to
need in a vbscript is Wscript.Network.AddPrinterConnection. Check
www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter for tons of samples, or else I can
round up one I wrote if you want.
