Need a script

[Kushina]

We switched over to a new print server and started using a new naming scheme for the printers and I'm kind of in need of a script.

Something along these lines

Part 1:

And something about looking at whether their current default printer is a local one or not, if not local the look at their current default printer (before the script starts) and then after the script is done with part 2 make the new matching printer their default

Part 2:

If network printer X found install network printer X1, if not ignore line
If network printer Y found install network printer Y1, if not ignore line
etc
etc

Also if this could be a logon script it would be nice, even if the machine isn't logged into until 30 days after the script was pushed.

Do you have an AD environment? I don't have any of the stuff from my last job handy, but we used AD and login VBscripts to set printers for specific users/groups. It was pretty straightforward.

edit: googling, it looks like you don't need to script, you just have to be an AD admin.
