Re: Resolve Printer long names mapping by FQDN name

Yes i did, the clients is pointing to the internal DNS only. Clients machine
is registering in the DNS and Reverse Zone has been configured n registered
as well.. i cant think of what caused it.. Will enabled WINS solve the issue?

Hello chua,

Make sure that your machines use only domain internal DNS servers. No external
ip's on the NIC configuration. Are all machines registered correctly in DNS
forward/reverse lookup zone.

My network is running on AD2003 r2 and XP clients. I'm using .vbs
script to map network printers during clients login to network.
However, i have errors when the users logon to windows.

Error shown on client:

Scripts: sysvol\path..
Line: 2
Char: 1
Error:
Code:
Source: Microsft VBScript runtime error.
My scripts looks like this:
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\ServerName\PrinterName".
However, if i change the UNC path to
"\\ServerName.DomainFQDN\PrinterName". it works perfectly OK. But the
thing is , it will cause long names. I want to know why i cant mapped
printers using the Netbios in .Vbs.. i tried typing \\servername or
\\servername\printer on the clients, it works OK... please assist. i
need the mapping printers to work.

regards,

steve
