VBS Printer Script Intermittent

[darbyshire]

Hi,

 

We are using a VBS Script to add printers on login based on Computer name.

The script is working (no errors) but it is very intermittent. It will work for a period of time then not add but a log off and back on usually fixes the issue.

 

Anyone has this? Or know of anything i can change in GP etc to ensure it runs.

 

Thanks

I'l be honest, we ditched our printer scripts years ago and instead switched to Group Policy Preferences. Had flawless printer deployment ever since and far easier to manage.

 

The only suggestion I can think of would be to see if the "Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon" policy makes a difference. You may be hitting the problem where the network isn't quite ready to map the printer at the point of script execution - therefore fails the mapping.
