#167017 - 06/09/07 06:33 PM Create ObjectGUID for printers
Duvander Duvander Fresh Scripter Registered: 05/11/07 Posts: 24	I have created a lot of printers on a w2k3 server using: Code: SHELL 'cscript %windir%\system32\prnmngr.vbs -a -p "PrinterName" -m "DriverName" -r "IP_192.168.0.254"' SHELL 'cscript %windir%\system32\prncnfg.vbs -t -p "PrinterName" -h "ShareName" -l "Location" -m "Comment" +shared' The problem is that after created th printers the AD doesn't find the them. The printers works fine but I cannot search them thru the AD. I noticed that the printers haven't got any ObjectGUID in the register. Is there any way to add those printers to the AD now and give them a ObjectGUID?

Try this on the computer where the printers are really installed (the printer server?) Right-click the printer and go to properties Go to the sharing tab Tick the "List in directory" tickbox

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 01/06/11 Posts: 12541 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Yes, and Duvander wants his VBS code to set that tickbox but since he is using VBS, he should post to a VBers forum.

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 01/06/11 Posts: 12541 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Ja, well... it's not a KiX question so it does not belong here in the KiX forum. It should be moved to General.

Duvander Duvander Fresh Scripter Registered: 05/11/07 Posts: 24	I'm sorry that I did place my question in tis forum. Thing is that the code is part of a kix-script but I haven't found any way to really create local printers with kix. Witto, you are right about Tick the "List in directory" tickbox in the sharing tab. Thanks! I've now found out what i missed in my "VB's lines"... (if anyone is interested) Code: SHELL 'cscript %windir%\system32\prncnfg.vbs -t -p "PrinterName" +published' Les: Sorry again for asking here
