The rinter.ini was renamed for testing to see if it would error out at that point . I have tried running the script. It does not change the default printer. If I add a ? $printer to the script it states that variable has a value of zero at the end of the script. I will try using @lserver\netlogon\printer.ini to be more specific about the printer.ini location and see what happens with that . Thanks a ton for all of your assistance. Any other troubleshooting tips ?
