SBS2011 Share Printer via GPO

Hi

I am setting up a new installation of SBS 2011 and I would like to push the network printer out to all users using GPO upon login.  

The printer is installed on the server and I have included x32 and x64 drivers.

Please could someone tell me what I need to do in order to set up the GPO to update the clients on log in ?

You can do this with a user logon script, either in AD policies or in the user properties.  I have used con2prt for several years because it is very easy.

You can also script the printer connections using VB script (see  http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/scriptcenter/en-US/efa16d9f-fb70-4182-b1f3-e69001e1dac1/vbs-script-to-connect-to-network-printer-clients-dont-have-local-admin-rights for some vb script examples).

If you use KIXstart you can add printers as well.  Here is an example for KIXstart -- http://www.kixtart.org/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=84171
