Ever since half term our printers scripts dont seem to have been running right, wondering if someone could take a look at the attached and see why they have just stopped working correctly. Before half term was all fine but now they dont seem to delete or add them right, either leaving printers still installed or not adding new ones when it has deleted them all.

Those scripts look fine - pretty much unaltered from the originals. The only thing I do differently is use the printserver's hostname rather than its IP.

 

Are all the printer drivers installed on all the clients? If the required driver is not there, sufficient privileges may not be available to install it - hence the printer won't be installed.

 

As the printers not getting deleted, I think that printers created by an administrator and using a TCP/IP printer port may not get deleted - I can't remember exactly though.

Ric, it did used to have the printservers name but it wasn't working so thought i'd try the IP instead just haven't got around to changing it back yet.

 

Would it make a difference where in the logon batch it was? Just wondering if the change in logon bat file might have made a difference?
