RE: [ActiveDir] Help with VB script to map printers

[Cace, Andrew]

You shouldn't need the extra quotes in the printer name/path.  The value of the variable is passed in its entirety, it doesn't get truncated because it contains spaces.  Someone else already recommended trying to connect to the printer from the Run line, I'll second that.   -Andrew   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Crowley [MVP] Sent: Wednesday, December 07, 2005 2:32 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Help with _vbscript_ to map printers This should work:   UNCpath1 = "\\server.abc.private\"“HP Color LaserJet 3500"""   Ed Crowley MCSE+Internet MVP Freelance E-Mail Philosopher Protecting the world from PSTs and Bricked Backups!™   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rich Milburn Sent: Wednesday, December 07, 2005 12:17 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Help with _vbscript_ to map printers Try using Chr(34) instead of quotes for your paths… i.e. UNCpath1 = "\\server.abc.private\" & Chr(34) & “HP Color LaserJet 3500" & Chr(34)   Chr(34) is how you get quotes into a string – at least it’s the only way I’ve ever gotten to work… my WSH doesn’t seem to like the double quotes I see some people use sometimes (i.e. MsgBox “I said, “”Hello.”” would always give me an error.  MsgBox “I said, “ & chr(34) & “Hello.” & Chr(34) works)   Rich   ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Rich Milburn MCSE, Microsoft MVP - Directory Services Sr Network Analyst, Field Platform Development Applebee's International, Inc. 4551 W. 107th St Overland Park, KS 66207 913-967-2819 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ”I love the smell of red herrings in the morning” - anonymous From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Noah Eiger Sent: Wednesday, December 07, 2005 1:10 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Help with _vbscript_ to map printers   Hi –   I am trying to modify a VBS found on the Internet to map multiple printers.
