Error is on the clients. Seems with all printer problems that I've had they're intermittant as well.

It's a Ricoh Aficio MPC2550

We've set up a 32bit server in the end. Originally I was using the PCL6 driver which failed to install sometimes. At the moment I'm using the PCL5 driver for the actual model of the machine.

Just when I think i'm getting there I now have another error It's one of our Ricoh copiers and the error is intermittant. I've updated the driver as I did have problems where they wouldn't connect sometimes. Why does printing appear to be so hard in 2008 R2 and Win 7??!!! Never had this problem with XP.

We added a logon script with a loopback policy for example: Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("Wscript.network") PrinterPath1 = "\\srv-print-a\IT1-HP3525MONO" PrinterPath2 = "\\srv-print-a\IT1-HP3525nCOLOUR" PrinterDriver1 = "HP LaserJet 3525 Black" PrinterDriver2 = "HP LaserJet 3525 Colour" Wshnetwork.addwindowsprinterconnection Printerpath1, Printerdriver1 Wshnetwork.addwindowsprinterconnection Printerpath2, Printerdriver2 Wshnetwork.setdefaultprinter "\\srv-print-a\IT1-HP3525MONO" PCL5 drivers appear to work best and we also enabled the following group policy as non signed drivers would not work without. Computer Config/Policies/Admin Templates/Printers/Point and Print Restrictions setting is disabled.

OK i'm getting closer. It's deleting the reg keys fine. When trying to delete the users folder in 'C:\Users' the log reports 'Error 70 on delete'. Also I've added users not to delete to sUsersToKeep=array but it is still deleting them. Thanks for all your help on this.

Thanks Steve, looking back I had commented them out to see if I was missing something with an original error. With them back in I get an error for Permission denied when it tries to run this line: For Each oFolder In flist

Hi Steve, afraid it's still not working for me. I'd already tried what you suggested above. Feel as though i'm missing something obvious but here's a screenshot of what I get when I run it. http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy343/NorthernNoel/scripterror.jpg

Yep that's how I'm doing it. I've found that anything I try to add to Current_User in there doesn't work.

Stuart; Trouble with that GP setting is that it needs at least a day before it deletes. By then it could have copied the corrupt profile back. Steve; With that script I get an error on line 56 char 3: Looking at the code it's this section: Function GetSid(sDomain,sUser) 'sDomain could be domain or computer name but will only query local computer '. below means query local computer for info Set oWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\cimv2") 'on error resume next Set oAccount = oWMIService.Get _ ("Win32_UserAccount.Name='" & sUser & "',Domain='" & sDomain & "'") if err.number=0 then sSid=oAccount.SID else sSid=0 end if GetSid=sSid on error goto 0 end function The error is on Set oAccount = oWMIService.Get _ Any ideas? Edit: Error is: Not Found Source is: SWbemServicesEx

I know it may be a bit of a pain but could you run it them on a machine, then in GPO click on '...' at the end of 'Key Path'? You'd still have to do each one but at least you won't have to type them in.

Ok I've made some progress. Appears to be a problem originally from a GPO setting. "Turn on Classic Shell" under User Config/Admin Templates/Windows Components/Windows Explorer causes this problem and is now set to disabled. My second issue is that the users have retained the settings in their profiles. I've managed to fix double click by adding the following to the registry via GPO: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell] @="none" To fix the new window issue I've found a reg hack below: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer] "ShellState"=hex:24,00,00,00,37,20,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\ 01,00,00,00,12,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,22,00,00,00 "IconUnderline"=dword:00000002 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer] "ShellState"=- "IconUnderline"=dword:00000002 Trouble is that the current user bit won't run via Group Policy. I'm guessing that it needs administrator access to run it as the users don't have access to regedit. Is there a way I can do this in GPO? Other option is that I delete their roaming profiles and local profiles off the machine but that's really a last resort. If I can avoid that it'd be great.

I've been having a lot of problems with Printers. To let you know where i'm at: I've set the printer to connect via a login script. This improved login speed and they were more reliable at connecting. I've also found that any printers with PCL6 drivers were intermittant. Changing to a PCL5 driver seems to have cured that.

Try checking to see if they have ownership of the folder. Some of ours were set to administrators but it worked as soon as we changed it.

Hi everyone Since changing to Server 08 R2 and Win 7 this summer I've had a problem that's driving my users crazy! Folder options are set to "Open each folder in its own window" and "Single-click to open an item". Folder options are disabled for users so they can't change it themselves. It appears that there is no option to change this in Group Policy. Would be great if they had the general tab on the folder options preferences. Anyone else having this problem? All I appear to find are fixes for XP that don't work.
