UAC/logon scripts/con2prt with Windows Vista
LockedWe aquired our first Vista machine (for compatibility testing) recently and it’s failing miserably in many areas!
We are using Windows Vista Business…
The first problem was with mapping network drives. Nothing would map correctly except the Home Folder option. I found that turning off UAC allows our drive mapping (NET USE) commands to function as intended. Great! Not a problem.
Hold the phone! I don’t have my printers? Hmmmmm…
I have used the con2prt utility to connect users to printers for years. Seems that there is a known issue with connecting to printers when UAC is turned off:

Any ideas on how this can be accomplished?
