Map printer connection

Hi all,

Im trying to map a network shared printer to a LPT port using a logon script
in group policy.

The script works just fine when i launch the script directly from a logged
in user, but fails when i use group policy.

my script:

Set wshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
Set wshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")

wshNetwork.AddPrinterConnection "LPT2", "\\SERVER\Printer"

The script looks fine (although you can skip the first "Set wshNetwork"
statement). I suspect the logon script is not running. See #8 in this link
for the method I use to configure logon scripts in Group Policy:

http://www.rlmueller.net/LogonScriptFAQ.htm

In particular, I like to paste the script into the "Show Files" dialog. To
check if your script is running, perhaps add a statement to the script to
map a drive letter to a shared folder (which the user has access to).

All you need is ONE command line..

net use lpt2: \\server\printer

{ no fancy programming needed }
