We have a w2k network. I'd like for 3 certain printers to be installed automatically on 5 pcs used by 5 certain users (often randomly) automatically either when the system boots up or the user logs on. Is there a way to do this through AD? Thanks!

I have not heard of any way to do that in AD as of yet. You can do it with a startup script. Place the following line in a logon script and add the script to the users that you need this for.

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n \\myserver\printername

You can also use con2prt.exe that comes with the W2K Resource Kit.
