Re: Script in GPO



Go to the new print server and alias the name to the old server. Enter the
old server name in DNS. This way your new print server will handle old and
new names the only requirement is the share name is going to have to be the
same.

Part of the logon script attached to a GPO, is for mapping a LPT port.

The printer that it maps to is dead, so I changed the script to point
another newly installed printer.

The problem is that when user logs on, the system still attempts to find
the
old printer and flash's up a connection error message stating that the
printer cannot be found. Ticking the "do not reconnect in the future"
option
and hitting "No" to continue the connection.. Gets you in ok. And the
correct
printer has been mapped.

The next day when users attempt to logon, the same message comes up.

What can still be telling the system to try the old mapping?

Thanks
