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!

vb script to connect network printer

Asked by screamsavers in Windows Networking

Tags: network, connect

We share office space with another tennant who needs to access our Network printers. They are on a workgroup, we are on a domain. I've installed another NIC in our print server (Win 2003Std) and assigned in an IP address within their segment. I can browse to the print server and need to enter domain usernam and password. After doing this I can connect each of the workstations to our printers and print OK. After rebooting the workstations I can no longer print and get the message "Print spooler not running" (even thought it is.). I need to then delete and re-add each printer.

One idea I had was to ass the printer each time usig the below vbs script, but how do I pass domain user credential in the script so user is not prompted?

('// Name: setprint.vbs
'// Description: Add a network printer and make it the default

Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")

'// Adds the printer. Substitute your server name and printer share.
WshNetwork.AddwindowsPrinterConnection "\\servername\sharename"

'// Makes the specified printer the default.
WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\servername\sharename"

Many Thanks.
