Our objective is to map two drives, M: and P: with a logon script. The corresponding shares are held on a Windows 2003 server. However, you could use any Microsoft machine later than Windows 95 to host the shared folders. Pre-requisites for MapNetworkDrive On Line 15 change the server name from ‘\\server’ to your server [...]
Once you add a second or third printer, it makes sense to set the default printer rather than leave it to chance. In this example I have set the default printer to strUNCPrinter1, however, you may wish to amend this value. ‘ PrinterSetDefault.vbs – Windows Logon Script. ‘ VBScript – Set Default Printer ‘ Version [...]
Here in Stage Two is where we fulfil our mission and add more printers.

Incidentally, I found the name of the printer driver buy looking on the advanced tab, Drivers. (See diagram) You must have already installed [...]
This script has the same core as the first example but with a few extra coding niceties. As you get to know my VBScript style, so you will see my familiar heading section, liberal use of variables, and a WScript.Echo message box to confirm what has happened. ‘ PrintersLong.vbs – Windows Logon Script. ‘ VBScript [...]
Our objective remains to map a drive, but this time I have chosen the K: drive. My share name and server are the same as example 1, ‘\printers’ and ‘\\server’. The only difference is to add a message box so that you know what’s happening. Pre-requisites. On Line 10 change the server name from ‘\\server’ [...]
