I’ve been neglecting my blogging duties. What I wrote this week was crap. The setup to the migration has been sapping me of energy. I need to make sure everything is ready to go by Monday even though the migration is not until Friday. Tuesday through Thursday is training for a service the company and its affiliates use to manage the website. This training could not have come at a worse time but Labor Day weekend was the best time to do the migration because no one needs the network. It fits nicely around all the company fundraising events and important meetings. I will have to work on Saturday, most likely. I don’t mind if I can get the job done properly. On Tuesday I want staff to come in and be 90% ready to go.
I’m having problems with the login script. Oh, sure, drive mappings are super easy but I would also like to work the printers within the script. All the old network printers need to be wiped out and new printers installed. They are the same physical printers, however, with different names and connected to a different server. I’ve tried a few things unsuccessfully. At one point I got as far as the login script searching for the printer but never finding it. Anyone have any success with something like this? Is there any other way to automate the installation of network printers?
