Does any know if there's a way to have KIX install specific printers to a group of computer name? For example: if the computer name is FA*, then install printerA, if computer name is FB*, then install printerB...Also, can wildcard be used in this case?
TIA.

Something like:
Code:
Select
Case Left(@WKSTA,2) = "FA"
$ = AddPrinterConnection("\\Server\PrinterA")
Case Left(@WKSTA,2) = "FB"
$ = AddPrinterConnection("\\Server\PrinterB")
EndSelect

One more thing, the printers are installed just fine using the code abovewhen logging in from a local ws, but when I login from Citrix, printers are not installed because I think it's picking up the Citrix server name instead of ws name. Any thought on how-to make it work...
Thanks!

Les, NTDOC, can you please point me to the FAQ link for this topic as I am having trouble finding it. When I click on the FAQ above the tread, it contains only how-to use this forum.
Please help.
Thank you!

Use the board search http://www.kixtart.org/ubbthreads/search.php?Cat= and search for Citrix in the KiXtart FAQ and HowTo's forum.

Code:
If Not @TSSESSION
$ComputerName = @WKSTA
Else
$ComputerName = %CLIENTNAME%
EndIf
Select
Case Left($ComputerName,2) = "FA"
$ = AddPrinterConnection("\\Server\PrinterA")
Case Left($ComputerName,2) = "FB"
$ = AddPrinterConnection("\\Server\PrinterB")
EndSelect

Witto - Just another thought, can specific printers be installed by specific subnet only?
Thanks much.
