Help please! Scripts doin' me 'ead in!

[tazz]

I have the following two "scripts"

 

logontracker.vbs kindly shared by tosh74

 

This is specified in the domain group policy to record ALL logons (user config,windows setting scripts,logon)

 

and then

 

addprinter.cmd set in a classroom group policy to add printers according to classroom (user config,windows setting scripts, logon)

 

Both can be run manually when logged on as a user. If set to run automatically, the addprinter.cmd will not run unless I enable "allow user group policy loopback processing" in the classroom group policy.

 

However, when I do that, the logontracker throws an access denied error!

 

Any ideas gratefully received.

If you set the vbs scrip to run as a logon on the users ou.

Then set the other one in its own policy on the computers ou with loopback you should be fine then. Dont put both scripts and loopback in an OU that contains both computers and users

Merge the two scripts into one? You'd have to script it to detect the OU which the computer resides in, and assign printers according to that, but it should solve the problem.

Thank you so much - that seems to have sorted it out

Good

 

If you do it at top level with loopback the scripts will also run twice as well.
