Hello, welcome to the Windows Forum, and sorry that you didn't get a reply yet.

Problem is that not too many people here are familiar with DOS scripting, including myself. However, let's try to find a solution.

You say "still failure"; can you be more specific? What fails; the flow, or the rundll32 command?

Looking at the flow, it is definitely wrong. You will always execute the rundll32 command. (if %computername%==office4, then you will go to label :office, if not you will anyway run into :office).

Try it as follows

@echo off

net use y: \\file\ftp\%username%

net use x: \\file\public

if NOT %computername%==office4 goto end

rundll32 PrintUI.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n \\file\lp01

:end

To assume there have office and computer room, when the user using office computers that the user only can see office printers but they must cannot see another room printers such as computer room.

So my script only who using office computers that can only see office printers and the script is run by group policy, but when the user not using office computers, they still can run the script ....

Thank !!

I understand what you are trying to do; does my corrected script work any better?

I will try your script tomorrow, do you know Con2prt.exe? I know Con2prt.exe for NT4, can its run on Windows2000 or 2003 server?

Thank!

I use administrator account to login client computer its will auto add printer by group policy but common user cannot .... how can I fix this problem ?

[Scarecrow Man]

If you use

runas /u:%COMPUTERNAME%\Administrator

in your batch file, it will run the script with administrator credentials. I believe the password has to be typed, but there is a way to have it automatic. I am sorry I cannot remember this off the top of my head.
