Hi there,

I'm pretty new to Vbscript so if I sound like a n00b...I am.

I'm working on a couple of little thing at the moment, I will post the other ina seperate thread.

Firstly though, I am working on a way to distribute shared printers to different departments.

I've got the distribution bit working OK in a closed system, but as the current users will already have local and shared printers installed I would like to clear them all off at the start of the script and then apply the new printers afterwards.

Here is my add printer script:

Option Explicit
Dim objNetwork, strLocal, strUNCPrinter1, strUNCPrinter2
strUNCPrinter1 = "\\ultra-invu\Accounts C2620"
strUNCPrinter2 = "\\ultra-invu\Accounts HP2430"
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection strUNCPrinter1
objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection strUNCPrinter2
objNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter strUNCPrinter1

I am not sure what to do next though as I have not found anything useful as yet to get both the local and shared printers to be removed together.

If anyone knows of how this can be done, please can you post an example script! I'd be very grateful!

Thankyou very much for the reply.

I'm probably being blind/stupid but I cannot seem to get this to work.

I have tried putting the script before my add printer script and it errors. I put the script into its own .vbs to run it fails to do anything.

Are there are editable areas of the script I need to configure to add to my Add Printers script and do I need to have any specific programs installed on the local PC beforehand?

I still have much to learn :(
