Login script for printers

Zone: Windows 2003 Server

Tags: script, printer, login

Can I add a script to log, perhaps a policy or something, that maps all the users who log in to the printers in the office. Instead of manually going to each computer and mapping the computers, it would be nice to have a policy that does this automatically. Can this be done, if so where in the policy is this controlled.
Thanks.

I prefer the IFMEMBER method...once setup properly...it's easy to manage through AD which printers a user is assigned.

First make all of your printers shared on a print server...

Example logon script.....too easy.

ifmember "accounting users"
if not errorlevel 1 goto EXIT
cscript prnmngr.vbs -x
cscript prnmngr.vbs -ac -p "\\servname\printersharename"
:EXIT

i just deleted all printers and added \servername\printer provided the user is a member of "accounting users".
