Server 2003 Printers and vbs

[stefshuuj]

Hi all,

I am not sure where to put this post so hopefully I get some responses.

We are running 2003 Server with XP Pro Workstations.

I am setting up a vbscript to map drives and printers at logon.

The script works fine as long as the user is in the power users or administrator group on the local pc.

I need to remove this access though and make them just USERS.

Problem is, when I do this, some of the printers map and some of them don't. It's also different for each user. Theres no consistency.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks in advance

Stephen

Have you tried having the scripts run at startup rather than logon. I've found that some scripts I've had issues running at logon has resolved at having them boot at system startup.

Thanks for the reply. I have not tried the script at startup but will do soon.

What I have found though:

1. if i add the USER to the local Administrator group the script runs fine.

2. if i then remove the user from the local Administrator group the script continues to run fine.

3. if however it is a new user never been part of the admin group then only some printers work while others won't

(even though all printers have same security settings)

I also tried setting both the local security policy on the local pc and via the GPO.....
