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!

Mapping a printer by way of a subnet or ipaddress

Asked by advmicro in Microsoft Server, Network Management

I  have two servers. One on 192.168.1.x and 192.168.2.x. Each server is in a different location. I need to create a login script that will map the appropriate printer for the ip address. For example, a client logs in at one location and gets a  printer, currently, and then, if they go to the other location that printer is still there. I need to make it so it adds the printer for that location ONLY so they wont be printing to the wrong location. In addition, I need to make that the printer default.
Here is the script that another person here helped me out with.
However, it is still not working.

I continue to get a UNC path error if I try running it from using explorer to the server.
I get no error, if I run it from a shortcut on the desktop, but it still will not work.



@echo off

for /f "tokens=2 delims=:" %%a in ('ipconfig ^| find "IP Address"') do set IP ADDR=%%a
for /f "tokens=1,2,3 delims=." %%a in ("%ipaddr%") do set SUBNET=%%a.%%b.%%c

if "%subnet%"=="192.168.1" goto subnet1
if "%subnet%"=="192.168.2" goto subnet2

echo On another subnet (%subnet%)
goto next

:subnet1
  echo Running on subnet 1 (%subnet%) from %ipaddr%
  rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /dn /n \\saco\HP4200
  rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n /y \\lewiston-server\HP4200

goto next

:subnet2
  echo Running on subnet 2 (%subnet%) from %ipaddr%
  rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /dn /n \\lewiston-server\HP4200
  rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n /y \\saco\HP4200

goto next

:next
:end


btw
 the "lewiston-server"  and "Saco" are  Windows 2000 Servers
and the logon script is on a shared folder of a Windows2003 serverStart Free Trial
