Issue with network printer install via GPO
Hi All,
I am trying to map network printers via GPO. I am doing this under the computer config> Windows settings>Start up script. I can't do it via User Config> Windows Settings> logon Script, due to theses being Kiosks, we have the users so locked down.
The script sort of works. I have about 10 printers in the startup script and only one or two will map. Below is the batchfile used in the startup script.
Batch file:
rundll32 printui.dll PrintUIEntry /ga /u /n\\ServerName\Printer1
rundll32 printui.dll PrintUIEntry /ga /u /n\\ServerName\Printer2
rundll32 printui.dll PrintUIEntry /ga /u /n\\ServerName\Printer3
and so on...
Any ideas on why it will only map two printers at startup? What's weird is every once in a while a third and fourth printer will install. Could it be that the Auto Logon GPO logs the user on before the Startup script can map all the printers?
Below is the GPRESULTS if you would like to take a look.
Thanks in advance.

If using a .bat file, put a pause at the end (and remove any '@echo off' statements) to see if it will leave the errors on screen.....
Any reason you are not using GPP for printer deployment?

The print server is W2k3 and not W2k3 R2, so I cant add printers from the GP. I wanted to install R2, but there is SOOOOO much red tape in order for me to get that approved.
