Using Printers in RDP that dont begin with COM, LPT, or USB...

[Ju1c3]

hi,

I am having problems with my remote desktop connections. The problem is my printers arent redirected when they dont start with COM, LPT, or USB. my names all start with ip becuase its how i set up my ports. i know i could rig it and name the port with a LPT or USB but i dont want to just patch it like that. i have found this fix at

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;302361

but it is applied user by user. i want something more global for my system then user by user. if anyone has the regestry edit for that, please let me know.


thanks,
Brian

It seems like a static fix, so you can use a login script to modify the registry. The vbscript forum here should be able to give you a workable solution.
