Status: offline 		We have multiple locations, and some users roam between them. When a user from location A gets to location B the logonscript needs to delete any and all printers from location A.
I used .RemovePrinterConnection to do this, but with well over 100 printers on the different locations, this takes *time*. Several minutes. So, I need a faster way to delete the printers.

Is it possible to use .EnumPrinterConnections to extract the UNC path for the printers and use an if and  lCase to delete all printers whose UNC path is beginning with \\printserverA\ for instance? How would I do this?
Any help with this is greatly appretiated.
