Hi,

I have added a script to add printers on the network to a particular group
in GPO and its working absolutely fine. The problem is when i login to any
server this script is run automatically and printers are added on that server
which i dont want. I was just wondering if there is any check we can add in
that script to check the server name and we can restrict that script to run
on particular machine like servers. Because i dont want printers to be added
on the servers.

Thanks.

Syed.

Sounds like the logon script should be applied to computers rather than
users, and the servers should not be in the OU the GPO applies to. That
would be the easiest solution. Otherwise, the script can read the
operatingSystem attribute of the computer object and parse for the string
"server". In VBScript:

Set objSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
strComputerDN = objSysInfo.ComputerName
Set objComputer = GetObject("LDAP://" & strComputerDN)
strOS = objComputer.operatingSystem
If (InStr(LCase(strOS), "server") > 0) Then
' Local computer has a server operating system.
End If
