I have been assigned to create a update a vbs script previously used by the company to update connection and drivers to users.
Part of the requirement was to migrate the script to PowerShell. After encountering problems in retrieving printers configure by computer. The PowerShell script will not retrieve these printers while vbs will unless if I will add the connection thru PowerShell first. Finally I decided to look for others means of deploying printer, I found that GPP(Client Side Extension) is very easy to do this task and it also provide a way to monitor problems by tracking the EventId generated when printer problems occurs.
Having confirmed this. There is documentation, from the previous admin who try to use GP to deploy printers and encounter configuration problems when they switch to HP printers. Previous Printer Server reside in a Windows 2003 dedicated server in AD 2008 R2 and workstation Windows 7. Is there any documentation or article that confirm this abnormality?
