Printer logon script not running on Windows 7 Pro machines?

GLeung — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 16:07:06 +0000

Hi, I created 2 GPO’s (both logon scripts: 1 for mapping network drives,
the other for installing our network printers). When I log into Windows
XP Pro machines, both scripts run fine. However, when I log into a Win 7
Pro machine, only the mapping drive script runs, the printer script
does not. I turned off UAC and gave local admin rights but the script
still doesn’t run. Running the printer script manually does install the
printers on the Win 7 machines but obviously I want to avoid doing this.

Can anyone offer any insight?

Thanks.

How do I add a local admin account via script?

swinehart6803 — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 19:06:40 +0000

We have just recently joined to our parent companies domain, and as such our old local admin account “administrator” name is not being used as an login anymore.
Most of our machines have administrator as the local admin account.
Since we want to get away from that name, we would like to add a local (machine) admin account via a script. Plus Windows 7 doesn’t allow for that name to be used, another reason to get away from it.
I found lots of ways to add an account that is part of the admin group on the domain to the local list. The issue is we want to use a username that is allready in the administrator group on our domain. The problem is we cant change that name or password. The password is 24 characters long and meant to run all the services that were running under the old “administrator” account. Since its so long, its not the best one to use for local admin access in safe mode. Plus it wasn’t added to the machines when they were setup.
Does anyone have a script that will add the user “user” with a password of “password” to the local computers account. So that it will show up in the users list as
USER “name” DOMAIN “pcname” GROUP “administrator”

Help with Group Policy Objects in Server 2008 64-bit

Ijross — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 16:38:30 +0000

Hi guys,
I need some help with Server 2008 GPOs. This may be a noob question so
be gentle!
I have various servers in OUs and need to prevent users accessing
other servers via a logged on server.
e.g.
User1 logged onto Server A in OU A, must not be able to access Server
B in OU B from Server A, but can logon to Server B directly.
Would dedicated logon accounts be better?
Any ideas?
