Need Help: Printer Login script based on AD group membership

albanga

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone would be able to give me a little insight into running a login script that would auto map printers based on security group membership within a Windows AD environment. Basically we already run a login script that maps network drives but all printer mappings are done manually. The "pain" with this is that we have 10 sites in our environment so if we could simplify all this based on group membership it would make our life a little easier.

For my example i would like members of a security group called melbourne to recieve printer Xerox located on printserver. Ideally it would also make the printer the default

Any ideas on how this would be done? Im guessing this would not be too rare, so someone might ven be currently using something similar. I have searched the internet but cant find exactly what i am looking for. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Great site for vbscripts that I would recommend bookmarking:

They have an entire section on logon scripts including deploying printers based on group membership:
