We actually had the similar issues with deploying printers and Windows 10. It would be very inconsistent, but a second login would always do the trick. What we actually found out is that the mapping seemed to fail the first time, but never on the second. We now use a small vbscript that maps the printer twice (and sets it as default if you so wish). It's a bit silly that that is the case, but at some point if it just works you go with it. It's pretty much worked 100% for the last couple of years and iterations of Windows 10. This is what we use (save it as .vbs): Set wshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network") on Error Resume Next 'Deletes all network printers Set clPrinters = WshNetwork.EnumPrinterConnections On Error Resume Next For i = 0 to clPrinters.Count - 1 Step 2 wshNetwork.RemovePrinterConnection clPrinters.Item(i+1), true Next Dim oNet Set oNet = CreateObject("WScript.Network") oNet.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "[PRINTER QUEUE NAME]" oNet.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "[PRINTER QUEUE NAME]" Dim obj ShellSet objShell = WScript.CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" ) objShell.Run "rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /y /n ""[PRINTER QUEUE NAME]"" " Set objShell = Nothing

Hi, Thanks for the response. I got rid of all the rubbish from the image, but this seems to be a system thing however. I have attached a screenshot of what the menu looks like before those shortcuts disappear in favour of the redirected ones.

I don't suppose anyone has found a resolution to getting rid of the default shortcuts on the start menu before the redirected one loads? I assume like Windows 8, to make it appear you are logging in quicker it shows the desktop before everything has actually finished loading in. However this gives you (for about 10 seconds or so) a generic start menu with shortcuts to things like PowerShell and other Windows admin tools. I would prefer it to show nothing to be honest rather than give misleading shortcuts (especially for a student account). Thanks!
