After having some problems with printers not appearing when a user logs on, I decided to write  a vbs script and have it run each time users log on to map the required printers. I have tried the script on the workstation when the user is logged on and it works fine. The problem is that the script does not run when used as a GPO Logon script.

I have applied the logon script to two policies:

1. One for all computers , under MyBusiness > Computers > SBS Computers > Clients (I created a new OU and moved all the office computers to that OU)
2. One under My Business > Users > SBS Users> Regular Users (also a custom OU where a moved a subset of the users)

The script is:

Dim net
Set net = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
net.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\server01\printer1"
net.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\server01\printer2"
net.SetDefaultPrinter "\\server01\printer1"

It was placed in the appropriate Logon folder under the policy.

Any suggestions?

Milos,
 
Any policy related errors on those workstations?

Hi Mariette,

how would I check that? is it using rsop.mmc or gpresult?

Other policy seetings get applied fine - at least for the user policies. Does the user have to have special rights?

Hi Milos,
 
Use rsop.msc on the workstation.
