Hello everyone and thank you for reading my question. I have a scenario regarding a Server 2008 system and a group of Windows XP systems.
1 X Server 2008 Standard SP2 x64 - All Updates
12 X Windows XP Dell Vostro's - All Updates
The computers are connected through a domain and are working off the domain for internet access, DNS forwarded on each desktop etc.
What I am wanting to do should be fairly simple I have the computers connected to the server accessing files through a mounted Z: drive that is connected upon login with all of their files located on the server so this is one thing that I got working.
The issues I am having:
I am wanting to deploy the printer across the network as well and have installed all the necessary drivers to the server for deployment on the XP Network and there is still no printer at the XP machines when I press deploy as well as restart the systems with the necessary configurations.
I am also having some issues with desktop icon deployment across all the desktops, I have a logon script that puts the icon on the desktop that you can double click (which works) but still no success after installing the script for the user in the group policy.
I know this is a large amount of information but I need to get some of these little things working. I appreciate the feedback!
