Hello,

I have a quick question. We recently changed a printers name and now
people cant find it anymore (on the older installation) which makes
sense. So i was wondering if there is something or somewhere in AD
where i can set up a printer so that when people log in they
automatically get that printer in their printer and faxes. This should
be applicable for new and existing users.

Thank you

Deployed Printers. You can do this with the XP admin pack and the R2 AD
schema changes.
