Re: Install printers to groups of users or computers by using Group Policy

Hello Bob,

Thank you for update.

From your description, I understand you want to make only local but not
remote VPN clients to install SBS share printer by logon script.

Meanwhile, you do not want use my suggestion to delete logon script for
each remote VPN client and you want to customize the script in the
following link:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/scripts/printing/default.mspx?
mfr=true

This is a scripting issue now; I suggest you repost your issue in MSDN
newsgroup for further assistance.

This newsgroup is primarily for issues involving deployment, configuration,
consultation and troubleshooting. The reason why we recommend posting
appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and
other partners who read the newsgroups regularly can either share their
knowledge or learn from your interaction with us.

MSDN NewsGroup: http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp

I hope the information above is helpful.

If there is anything else I can do for you, feel free to let me know.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Best regards,

Terence Liu(MSFT)

| >>
| >> 1. The printer must be shared

| >>
| >> 4. The clients must contain the SBS servers IP as the DNS server

it;

| >>
