Re: Relocating a networked printer to a different location & name
It's possible the network is not fully initialized when the script kicks in.
If you have Fast User Logon enabled I'd almost guarantee it. If the
printers where added as per machine connections using rundll32 and printui
interfaces, the printers will be sitting in the registry under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Connections
you will need to use rundll32 to remove them

Re: Relocating a networked printer to a different location & name
Hi Alan, we run startup scripts all the time, so the network has to be fully
initialized. (We copy stuff to the PC's all the time)
I checked the registry and there is no /connections.
We have a profile called "make profile" which we alter, then copy it to the
Default user profile. I am currently logging in as the make profile account,
making the necessary printer adjustments, then logging out, then taking the
ntuser.dat file and copying it to

(printers were correct), but when I created the startup script to copy the file, its not working... (could be a typo or somthing) I'm just currently working on it right now.

Re: Relocating a networked printer to a different location & name
The ntuser.dat file replacement seem to be working on my initial test. I have
to do a few more tests to make sure everything is ok.
