Hello,
I have the problem that I did not get my printers mapped to %clientname%, when a client logs on the terminal server Win2003. Unfortunately, I was able to find any further help.

Workstation-printer.ini
 Code:
[Workstation1]
Printers=\\PSSERVER\Print1
Default=\\PSSERVER\Print2

[Workstation2]
Printers=\\PSSERVER\Print2;\\PSSERVER\Print-PDF
Default=\\PSSERVER\Print2


Workstation.kix
 Code:
$ID = Left (@WkSta, 12)
$PrinterList = Split(ReadProfileString('%logonserver%\NETLOGON\Wprinter.ini', $ID, 'Printers'), ';')
$DefPrinter  = ReadProfileString('%logonserver%\NETLOGON\Wprinter.ini', $ID, 'Default')
For Each $Printer in $PrinterList
  AddPrinterConnection($Printer)
Next
SetDefaultPrinter($DefPrinter)


How can I retrieve the %clientname% and then work through the appropriate ini file? With the workstation works fine.I hope you can help me.

This Host : %CLIENTNAME% ???

You can use environmental vars right in kix.

For example
 Code:
? %clientname%


There is probably a better way, as I don't use Citrix, but here is my stab using the Sessiontype UDF...

untested
 Code:
$ID=iif(sessiontype="Citrix ICA session",%clientname%,@wksta)

How the process can be to written to log file?

 Code:
 
$ID = left ("%ClientName%", 15)
$PrinterList = Split(ReadProfileString('%logonserver%\NETLOGON\PRINTER\Drucker-ThinClient.ini', $ID, 'Drucker'), ';')
$DefPrinter  = ReadProfileString('%logonserver%\NETLOGON\PRINTER\ThinClient.ini', $ID, 'Standard')
For Each $Printer in $PrinterList
  AddPrinterConnection($Printer)
Next
SetDefaultPrinter($DefPrinter)

Have a look at the Open(), Writeline() and Close() functions. They can be used to open a file, write to it and close it.

You can also use RedirectOutput.

Hello Bratenbengel,

If you want to use my printer mapping, it is operating normally here in the company.

I would also recommend placing a variable in front of the AddPrinterConnection and SetDefaultPrinter functions. This will catch the return codes of the functions preventing them from displaying 1's and 0's in a console.

 Code:
$ID = left ("%ClientName%", 15)
$PrinterList = Split(ReadProfileString('%logonserver%\NETLOGON\PRINTER\Drucker-ThinClient.ini', $ID, 'Drucker'), ';')
$DefPrinter = ReadProfileString('%logonserver%\NETLOGON\PRINTER\ThinClient.ini', $ID, 'Standard')
For Each $Printer in $PrinterList
  $rc = AddPrinterConnection($Printer)
Next
$rc = SetDefaultPrinter($DefPrinter)
