My problem is not with the script, I use a very simple .bat file that reads as:<br />
start \\print-server\printer-nam<wbr />e<br />
<br />
The problem is that when we setup the GP as a startup script for the computers in the labs it doesn't work (it works if its a local group policy and the path is stored locally) but if the group policy is set from the domain at OU level it doesn't install any printer and nothing shows in the event viewer, which makes me think its an authentication issue since there are no users logged in when the PC boots.<br />
<br />
It has to be a startup script, we cant use login script cause users have to have different printers setup for them in different labs.<br />
<br />
So my question is can printers be setup using group policy at OU level as start up scripts? and how?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Hi there, is there a script that can be written to apply via gpo to install a printer thats connected to a linksys print server. tried using the print manager in server 2003 but cant connect to the print server. i can connect to it if i set it up through add printers, but want to set it up in a gpo to distribute to all clients.<br />

gpo for printers

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
