Sorry if this is a bit late, but I get the messages in digest form and
didn't read my email over the weekend.
Here's the question I'm replying to:
I am setting up several Win2000 Pro boxes and I am using a domain
administrator account to do so. Part of the setup is to install default
printers to use. But what I am finding is that when I go and check with a
user account, no printers are installed.
I have probably been looking at it without knowing it, but is there a tool
or setting either locally or at the (Win 2000) domain level to assign a
default printer to a Win 2000 Pro box for all users?
Thanks.

I ran into this problem. Here's an easy way to fix it. Set up your
computer the way you want all users to see it (including the printer(s)
you want installed). Then, right-click "My Computer" and choose
Properties. Choose the User Profiles tab. Click on the profile of the user
you set up (presumably your domain administrator) and click the Copy To
button. Click on the Browse button. Navigate to C:\Documents and
Settings\Default User and click the OK button. (I have found that you must
be sure you can see "Default User" here--by showing hidden system
files--or else the end result will be a lot of errors.) Then in the
"Permitted to Use" section click on the "Change" button and choose a user
or group to give permission to. Because I'm setting up computers in a lab
situation, I choose the domain "Everyone" group. Click OK.
At that point you get a warning, which you can click through and then
you're set. At this point I run sysprep and create an image.
