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!

EventCode=1111 EventID=1111 - Driver %1 required for printer %2 is unknown.

Asked by omen1280 in Remote Desktop/Terminal Services, VB Script

Tags: , , , ,

Other admins that logon to various servers get the following error when ever they logon

Driver %1 required for printer %2 is unknown. Contact the administrator to install the driver before you log in again.

I see this article from Microsoft but im not sure why i would have to do this if i have a logon script set to NOT run if they are logging onto a server.
If i was to follow this process im unsure of what registry change would need to be made if the printer is not even installed on that server.

Also, attached is a copy of the logon script that is supposed to skip the script if the user is logging on to the server.

Here is the exact message from the event viewer
