Deploying Network Printers in Windows 2003 R2

The consultant provided me with a link to a page from WindowsNetworking.com (site) to deploy network printers via Group Policy (link). It's a pretty straight forward setup. The only part that didn't work for me was adding the PushPrinterConnection.exe login script toward the end. I'm not sure if having a script in place already was confusing the matter. My solution was to copy the executable into sysvol/scripts and include a line in my script to execute the program:

\\domain.org\sysvol\scripts\pushprinterconnection.exe

This worked great for me and saved me a few minutes at each workstation. Topics of interest at the site:
