Hi there,

I have the following code, which I would like to use to be able to install printers via a web page.

<%@ Language = VBSCRIPT %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">


<html><%
Dim objNetwork

Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")

objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\AYL-DC-01\A51020D"
objNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\AYL-DC-01\A51020D"
%>
<head>

But i'm getting the following error message

I am a Domain Admin as well!!?!?!

Thanks for any help/...

In your case, this statement executes on the web server -- not on the local client:

objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\AYL-DC-01\A51020D"

I believe your page is getting that message because it is not signed onto the network at that point. Thus, the network does not know that you are an administrator. If you're talking about an intranet, and you want that statement to execute on the local client, then you must use client-side scripting (IE) to execute that command.
