Re: Setting a default printer.

We use a VBS login script attached to the student OU gpo to map printers
and to set the default printer on login.

Script.vbs
On error resume next

Dim WSHShell, WSHNetwork, objDomain, DomainString, UserString, UserObj,
Path, Message, Title

Set WSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")

'Remove old netowrk drives
<snip>

'remove old printers
Set WSHPrinters = WSHNetwork.EnumPrinterConnections
For LOOP_COUNTER = 0 To WSHPrinters.Count - 1 Step 2

If Left(WSHPrinters.Item(LOOP_COUNTER +1),2) = "\\" Then
       WSHNetwork.RemovePrinterConnection WSHPrinters.Item(LOOP_COUNTER
+1),True,True
     End If

Next

'add new drives
<snip>

'Add printers
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\newt.sims.berkeley.edu\room210"
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\newt.sims.berkeley.edu\room5"
WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\newt.sims.berkeley.edu\room210"
