Guest Joe_IT Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Hiya, Not sure ths is the correct forum, but I'm going to give it a shot. Our company just installed 15 new copiers, most networked, all new drivers and names on the network. I was made responsible to make a script to add in to our login.bats (we run many different login scriots depending on where you at in the company and what you need to do) I have to ad this script to our login scripts to remove the "old" instances of the copiers these replaced. This has to be done across Citrix as well and PC workstations. The majority of our workstations run XP, but we do have a few 2000 machines. But that doesn't matter they all run the same scipts. I was going to try just a simple script code to remove the references to the printers. 'REMOVE ALL MAPPED PRINTERS IN THE CLIENT'S CITRIX SESSION Set objNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network") Set Printers = objNetwork.EnumPrinterConnections For i = 0 to Printers.Count - 1 Step 2 strPrinterName = "" strPrinterName = Printers.Item(i+1) objNetwork.RemovePrinterConnection strPrinterName,1,1 Next But as you can see it's for citrix ? Then I found out about the PrintUI.dll call command and just using it. rundll32 printui.dll PrintUIRetry /dn /n\\printerserver\printer1 rundll32 printui.dll PrintUIRetry /dn /n\\printerserver\printer2 and so on. But when I test it in the cmd prompt it fails, says it cant find the printer and I'm looking at it on my print server. I tried the syntax /dn to remove network printers, also tried it on my local machine with the /dl to delete local printers, this also failed. It has been ages since I scripted anything. What am I missing, this isn't rocket science, I just want to remove old instances of thier printers on thier AD accounts. I figure run the script for a few weeks to assure all users are hit and then remove the bit. Thanks in advance.
Guest - Michel Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 RE: Looking for input, script input. Hi, Why not just use "net use" (/del) in a batch during logon of the user? Easy to script and far more easier?

Guest - Michel Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Re: Looking for input, script input. Yep, easy as that: connect: net use \\printserver\printername disconnect: net use \\printserver\printername /del /y (/del = delete, /y = force) "Joe_IT" wrote: > On Jan 3, 2:39 pm, - Michel <Mic...@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > > > Why not just use "net use" (/del) in a batch during logon of the user?
