VBS Script to Map Printer Based on Group Membership

Asked by jlepre in Active Directory

Tags: Microsoft, Active Directory, 2003, VBS

Hello,

I am trying to create a VBS Logon Script to map printers based on group membership.  I have two groups and two printers called PrinterA and PrinterB.  When I run the script I do not get any printer mappings or any error messages.  Any ideas on why this does not work?

Thanks in advance.Start Free Trial

Const PrinterA ="cn=PrinterA"
Const PrinterB = "cn=PrinterB"
 
Set wshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
Set ADSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
Set CurrentUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & ADSysInfo.UserName)
strGroups = LCase(Join(CurrentUser.MemberOf))
 
If InStr(strGroups, PrinterA) Then
 
    wshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\W2k8-INT\PrinterA"
    wshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\W2k8-INT\PrinterB"
    wshNetWork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\W2k8-INT\PrinterA"
 
ElseIf InStr(strGroups, PrinterB) Then
 
    wshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\W2k8-INT\PrinterB"
    wshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\W2k8-INT\PrinterA"
    wshNetWork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\W2k8-INT\PrinterB"
 
End If
