Hi world,
My company is re-locating to a new building and therefore we are renaming our printers. I am also taking the opportunity to name them more correctly and have all the Group Policies running properly.
The issue is that the current Group Policies won't automatically remove themselves because we are keeping the same IP ranges and so I am having to run a script to remove all currently mapped printers before mapping the new ones, however only the removal script is running, the new printers are not mapping. Details:
The removal of printers is via a logon script (VBS) and this GPO is ENFORCED to ensure it runs first. This GPO/script is running and printer mappings are removed. THEN, the new printers are supposed to be mapped using user preference GPO's and filtered using IP range Item Level Targeting to ensure only printers on the users floor are mapped. This GPO is currently applied last and has about 15 other GPO's applied before it.
This GPO to map the new printers IS NOT working. Group Policy results wizard shows that both of these policies are the winning GPO's for their respective categories and are applied, however printers do not appear mapped.
If after logon, I do a manual gpupdate command, the printers map as you would expect so the group policy does work, it just refuses to map printers in the same process as removing printers.
Can anyone help here? I MUST remove old printer mappings then map the new printers on day 1 after our office move.
Thanks.
