The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Calling all VBS scripters....

Asked by jamesreddy in Windows Networking

Tags: vbs

I'm still a novice vbs script maker, so I'll need an assist with this one.  I want to develop a script that will automatically connect to a network printer based on the computer name that the user logs into.  Basic scenario:

I have several computers labs.  The lab PCs in the different rooms all have computer names that start with the appropriate room number.  All of my PCs names start with one of the following:

NH1   -- Nelson Hall Room 1
NH3   -- Nelson Hall Room 3
NH5   -- Nelson Hall Room 5
DCA   -- Data Center Room A
DC25 -- Data Center Room 25
DCRR -- Data Center Resource Room

Each room has their own network printer.  NH1, NH3, NH5, DCA, DC25 all connect to HPs with JetDirects.  DCRR connects to a shared printer based off an XP Professional machine in the same room.

I need a script for my users (who roam throughout the network) that can determine the PC's name, then connect to the appropriate printer based on that computer name.  I know I've seen similar scripts in EE before, but I'm at a loss to find one again.

Thanks in advance...and be gentle.  :)  Programming is the ONE THING, I've resisted and I'm beginning to subscribe to the Borg philosophy that resistance is futile.
