Remote Printer Map

September 29, 2009 in Windows Server

I have been recently looking a for a remote printer script so that when I setup a domain server I can attach one batch file to each user and when they logon to the new machine on the domain the script would install the printers, you can see below the script I found:

“rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n\\<servername>\<printer  sharename>”

Obviously replace the server name and share name with you server name and share name.

I will admit this isn’t the best script as it installs the printer whether it is already installed on the machine or not but at least you know it will always be installed for the user, if you do find anything better then please let me know.

Server 2003 WAN & LAN Change

January 5, 2009 in Windows Server

When changing the LAN NIC to the WAN NIC and a DHCP server had previously been enabled on that card, even after configuring the LAN properties  of both WAN & LAN you then need to run the configure server IP from the server management console in Internet and Email.

This will then configure the registry for the change of IP’s on both the WAN and LAN. At the end of the server IP change it will offer you the chance to run Routing and Remote Access wizard this has to be run in order to supply internet to the workstations.
