I am in the process of a migration from Novell to Win2K and I have a question about adding printers. Does anyone have an easy way to allow NT WS clients to add printers using the Kix method. The nature of NT does not provide the typical user the ability to add drivers, set time, etc. I am looking for an easy way of giving these permissions via the login script. I have used resource kit tools in the past as a manual method, but would like to do it automatically. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks all.

Still new to Kix, but getting better.

code:

---

$defprinter=""
select
	case ingroup($group+"med")		$defprinter="\\a06\Elton"
	case ingroup($group+"mis")		$defprinter="\\wheelerc\printer"
	case ingroup($group+"mqa")		$defprinter="\\a06\barbrady"
	case ingroup($group+"oig")		$defprinter="\\a06\elton"
	endselect
if $defprinter<>""
	$printerexists=0	$lptprinter=0	$index=0
	 :printloop
	$printer=enumvalue("$HKCUSMWNTCV\PrinterPorts",$index)
	$printerport=readvalue("$HKCUSMWNTCV\PrinterPorts","$printer")
	if @error=0
		if "$printer"="$defprinter"		$printerexists=1	endif
		if instr("$printerport","LPT")		$lptprinter=1		endif
		$index=$index+1
		goto printloop
		endif
	if $printerexists=0	
		$=addprinterconnection("$defprinter")	
		if $lptprinter=0	
			$=setdefaultprinter("$defprinter")	
			endif	
		endif
	endif
