I am a complete noob to scripting so, please, bear with me.
My boss wants a script to migrate all users to a new print server with the same printers on both; only the server name changes. I found one named QCHANGE.VBS that seems to work fine. When I put it in the KiX login script it won't run (I get no errors either). When I execute the same script manually from the Run command it works fine.
Code
_______________________________________________________________
IF INGROUP("Domain Printer Test")=1 ; All users in the test group
shell "cscript.exe //nologo qchange.vbs changes.txt"
ENDIF
_______________________________________________________________
End Code
Any ideas?
Note: I am completely open to other ways to make this change that do not involve user interaction!

A few weeks ago, the same question was asked. I think PriMapState() can help you.
Adding/removing network printers

Just a thought, I do not know if it would be tricky, but maybe you can enumerate all the ShareName keys under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers and save them to a text file to avoid typo errors...
;*************************************************************************
; Script Name: CreatePrinterList.kix
; Author: Wim Rotty
; Date: 9/02/2007
; Description: List all printer sharenames on printer server
;*************************************************************************
;Script Options
If NOT @LOGONMODE
Break On
Else
Break Off
EndIf
DIM $RC
$RC = SetOption("Explicit","On")
$RC = SetOption("NoVarsInStrings","On")
$RC = SetOption("NoMacrosInStrings","On")
$RC = SetOption("WrapAtEOL","On")
;Redirect Screen Output to file
$RC = RedirectOutput(@SCRIPTDIR+"\printers.txt")
;Declare vars
DIM $RKyLocalPrinters, $SharedPrinters, $Printer, $i, $Separator
$RKyLocalPrinters = "\\PRTSERVER\HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers"
$Separator = ","
$i = 0
;Enumerate all local printers on server
$Printer = EnumKey($RKyLocalPrinters, $i)
While NOT @ERROR
If NOT $SharedPrinters = ""
$SharedPrinters = $SharedPrinters + $Separator
EndIf
;Find ShareName and add it to list
$SharedPrinters = $SharedPrinters + ReadValue($RKyLocalPrinters+"\"+$Printer+"\DsSpooler","printShareName")
$i = $i + 1
$Printer = EnumKey($RKyLocalPrinters, $i)
Loop
$SharedPrinters ? |
This will save you a list named printers.txt in your scripting directory.

Thank you to all who have provided help, but a coworker and I solved the problem. When the script ran at login it was defaulting to my home drive when looking for the VBScript, which obviously was not there. When we modified the KIX script to include the full path to VBScript it worked perfectly. Here's the final code:
Code
______________________________________________________________________
; Remaps printers to the new print server TEH 2/6/2007
IF INGROUP("Domain Printer Test")=1 ; All users in the test group
shell "cscript.exe //nologo \\myserver\netlogon\qchange.vbs \\myserver\netlogon\changes.txt"
ENDIF
______________________________________________________________________
Thank you again.
