W10 - Printers GPP

[Simcfc73]

My GPP has been so unreliable (rock solid with W7) that I decided to jump in a time machine and roll out printers using the startup folder which seems to work a treat.

 

Took me an hour to create all the batch files (I went really old school) and used PDQ deploy to dump all the files on the computers I wanted.

 

Its very crude but the weight off my shoulders is lovely. Still not impressed with W10 enough to like it though, had several users not get the GP or the start menu settings as its denied access to the Group policy folders, just weird....oh and there is random mapped drive issues...oh and default programs dont seem to stick.... oh and WU is still logging errors in the event log even with the new fixes
