Use a batch file to transfer and print a file on a print server
Hi,
I am trying to get the attached batch file to send and print a file to our print server.
The batch file works on our old print server which is a windows 2003 server and a domian controller.
When I go to run it on our new print server which is Windows Server 2008 R2 and also our Active directorey server I get Access is denied as per attached jpeg. If I run the job as a Domain Admin it works fine. I have given a test account full print, manage printer and manage documents and still no luck.
i have also disabled the firewall on the print server and terminal server and still get the same access denied message.
I know it is a permissions issue but am not sure where to go and look now.
Thanks Mark

My guess is that the test account does not have access to read the file from the Windows 2008 R2 server. I would verify the permissions on the temp directory to make sure the test account has access to the file. Are you able to sign on to the server using the test account and read the file?

Hi,
This is not a scheduled task.
Yes the test account can access the file on the terminal server as it can copy it to another folder. What it cant do is copy the file to the print server queue.

Make it a scheduled task with no further occurrences.
Ask the normal user to execute this task to copy / print the files.

All I wont the user to do is click on a file when they receive it and it prints. the print files have a .pclz extension which I have setup to be associate with the batch file when clicked on.
The print file is never the same, so I dont see how a scheduled task can work.

You can make it a scheduled task and feed domain creds.
You can run that command manually.
