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

Hello Noah,

besides from the other answers:

Are you planning on implementing any single Windows Server 2003 R2 in the close future? If yes then you can use the print-managementconsole which will allow you to publish printers by group policy to either users or computers and you only need to run one command in your startup and logon-scripts to make the clients aware of that policy.

Gruesse - Sincerely,

Ulf B. Simon-Weidner

Subject: [ActiveDir] Help with _vbscript_ to map printers

Hi –

I am trying to modify a VBS found on the Internet to map multiple printers. This will be run for every user in an OU. I keep getting the following error for line 8: 8007007B - The filename, directory name or volume syntax is incorrect

I have played around with the syntax but think I am missing something very basic here. Any thoughts?

I got this from: http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/ezine/ezine16.htm#Example%203:%20Mapping%20Multiple%20Printers

Dim multiPrinter, UNCpath1, UNCpath2, UNCpath3

UNCpath2 = "\\server.abc.private\HP LaserJet 3300"

UNCpath2 = "\\server.abc.private\HP LaserJet 5000"

Set multiPrinter = CreateObject("WScript.Network")

multiPrinter.AddWindowsPrinterConnection UNCpath1

multiPrinter.AddWindowsPrinterConnection UNCpath2
