Setting Default Printer Based on computer OU

I have multiple classrooms, each with a networked printer. I have logon scripts installing each of these printers based on the student OU, however I would like to set the default based on the computer OU (ie classroom number)
I have the following script to set the default printer
Option Explicit
Dim objNetwork, strUNCPrinter
strUNCPrinter = "\\nyci-fpsrv01\nyci-301-hp"
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection strUNCPrinter
objNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter strUNCPrinter
WScript.Quit

which works great on it's own, however when I add it to the GP of the classroom OU it does not run.

any help would be greatfull

Are you adding this as part of the user logon script?

I have this as a login script yes, but this one is on its own.
the regular login script runs based on the user (student) OU group policy.

I want this one to run based on the computer (room_301) OU group policy

If the script doesn't even run, the problem is most likely related to GPO or other configurations rather than the script itself. Try to create a file or something within the script to determine whether the script runs or not. If it does, then you can work on the script itself.

I don't think that this is possible. The default printer is related to the users profile and is not machine related. I believe that the computer will only process the startup script from the computer section of the policy which happens before a user is logged on and since no user is logged on then there is nothing to tie the default printer setting too. I hope that I am wrong because it would be cool to be able to do this.

Good luck.

It is possible to have the logon script executed on a per-machine basis with a loopback. Just be sure to set it up in merge mode. That way, any user logging on to machine subject to that GPO will recieve the user settings defined therein.

Cool
