Installing Default Printer For All Users on Windows 7 Client PCs.

The printers are shared on a Windows Server 2012 and I need a way to install them on Windows 7 clients PCs. I have tried using :
RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL, PrintUIEntry  but the results were  unreliable.
1. Is there a way to install a network printer shared on a Windows Server 2012 while logged on to the local Windows 7 PC domain as administrator?
2. What other methods would you recommend?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hi，
You can deploy the printer via GPP, make some configuratiosn for the printers, set this printer as default printer, then link the GPO to related OU or group which contains the user accounts that you want this printer available. after that, run
gpupdate /force to update the policy, you will see printer listed on your client.

  • Default Duplex for ALL Users on Windows 7

    So, here is my issue... I work for Computer Services at an institution and we upgraded one of our computer labs over summer recess to new Z200 model workstations running Windows 7, 64 bit. Each of our students, faculty, and staff have their own network account, and the computers are frozen (mainly to keep them clean) so every restart any individual settings changed after the computer was frozen are deleted. What we need to do is find a way to force default duplexing on each computer for every account logged in. We have tried a few things which worked on the administrator account marginally well, but we can not replicate that to all users. We have also tried the 'public profile' to no avail. Help?

  • How do you set default programs for all users when deploying Windows 8.1?

    I have my Windows 8.1 image set up the way I want including the start screen, theme, etc. But how can I set the default programs for all users. Most of out computers are non-touch and I want the desktop apps (e.g. Windows Photo Viewer), not the store apps
    to be the default for opening pictures, videos, etc. Can that be done?

    Great question, this has been bugging me too!
    So, I did some research by using "Set Default Programs" app in Windows 8. Then I ran the super ProcMon.exe tool from Sysinternals.com <Thanks Mark!>
    After filtering out the junk, I could see some *interesting* writes to the registry:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.jpg\UserChoice]
    "Hash"="57y87/ogggU="
    "ProgId"="PhotoViewer.FileAssoc.Jpeg"
    But the "Hash" part had me concerned. I did some internet searching for the hash, and came across a post and a pointer to a blog with some answers.  This is both good news and bad.
    Background:
    One of the problems with Windows XP is that any program can come in and party on the entire system. No, I don't want you to put a shortcut on the desktop, install a crappy IE Toolbar, and change the default file association for *.jpg files to your app, I
    just wanted to play a stupid game. Since Windows 7, Microsoft has been attempting to block that functionality from the stupid applications, and give them back to the user. Take note of the last line in the ITaskbarList3 interface:
       Applications cannot programmatically pin themselves to the taskbar. That functionality is reserved strictly for the user.
    Of course that sucks for us IT Pros who may wish to create *default* working environments for corporate images, but there are some tricks we can do.
    Solution:
    This blog appears to have the answer:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/mrmlcgn/archive/2013/02/26/windows-8-associate-a-file-type-or-protocol-with-a-specific-app-using-a-gpo-e-g-default-mail-client-for-mailto-protocol.aspx
    New for Windows 8 is a dism command: /Get-DefaultAppAssociations that allows you to export a control case from a known good computer. Microsoft the supports importing the exported xml file via GPO. For example, before I changed the file association, .AVI
    was pointing to the Modern App, after the change the /export-DefaultAppAssociations shows change to the new app:
    From:
    <Association Identifier=".avi" ProgId="AppXhjhjmgrfm2d7rd026az898dy2p1pcsyt" ApplicationName="Video" />
    To:
    <Association Identifier=".avi" ProgId="VLC.avi" ApplicationName="VLC media player" />
    I am still doing some investigation to see if a GPO is required, or if you can inject the association into a local user account. Also, if you do have some Modern Windows 8 Touch Tablets, it would recomend keeping most of the Modern App defaults in place,
    perhaps seperate GPO's for Desktops/Laptops vs Tablets?

  • How to set mozilla firefox homepage for all users in windows 7?

    I want to set same homepage for all users in windows 7.

    You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new (default) values.
    Place a local-settings.js file in the defaults\pref folder where also the channel-prefs.js file is located to specify using mozilla.cfg.
    pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
    These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
    defaultPref(); // set new default value
    pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
    lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

  • Setting Default Preferences for All Users in Crystal Reports Server 2008 v1

    We are currently looking to set the default preferences in the CMC for all of our users.
    I did locate this page Link: [How to set default preferences for all users in Infoview 3.1/CRS 2008]
    The first part of the thread did seem promising but I am unable to find the sample .jsp code that people recommended.
    I would assume that this scenario is common enough that someone knows a way to set universal preference defaults.
    Thank you

    I thought I could just run it too but when I attempt to I get a Windows Script Host error:
    Script: C:\User Prefs.vbs
    Line: 1
    Char: 1
    Error: Expected statement
    Code: 800A0400
    Source: Microsoft VBScript compilation error.
    I noticed the first most line seems to be markup for a web interface though I am not familiar with vbs so I may be wrong.  I used the publishing wizard to put the script on the CMC to attempt to run it through the CMC but it still does not work.

  • Pin shortcuts to Taskbar and Start Menu for all users in Windows 7

    How can i Pin shortcuts to Taskbar and Start Menu for All Users in Windows 7? Office 2007 Word, Excel and Outlook.

    There are a few ways...
    You can configure a default profile which will give you the ability to setup the Start Menu as you want it with the items pinned how you like.  However, in my experience customizations done to the Taskbar are not maintained in a default profile.
    So, one way to get around that would be to create a script and use the "Active Setup" hooks that are built into Windows 7 to achieve the desired results.
    If you combine this script...
    http://blogs.technet.com/deploymentguys/archive/2009/04/08/pin-items-to-the-start-menu-or-windows-7-taskbar-via-script.aspx
    With Active Setup...
    http://www.visualbasicscript.com/Active-Setup-Examples-m67461.aspx
    You can get the results you want to get...
    Pinned items on the Taskbar have two components, one is in the file system and the other is in the registry.  You could also use GPO Preferences to add both components to a new profile and therby get similar results.  I played around with this method a little and did get it to work also.

  • Set a default layout for all users via DIAPI

    Hello everyone,
    I am attempting to set a default report for all users/business partners using the DI-API. 
    I can accomplish this in the B1 application via Tools> Layout Designer...>Set as Default
    If there are entries in the RDFL table for this layout, I am prompted to delete these entries and set this layout as the default for all users/BP's
    Based on the SDK Documentation, the following code should accomplish the same thing via the DI-API
    (stripped down for clarity)
    Dim oDefaultReportParams As DefaultReportParams
    oDefaultReportParams = oLayoutService.GetDataInterface(ReportLayoutsServiceDataInterfaces.rlsdiDefaultReportParams)
    oDefaultReportParams.LayoutCode = sMyLayoutCode
    oDefaultReportParams.ReportCode = sMyReportCode
    Me.oLayoutService.SetDefaultReport(oDefaultReportParams)
    Code executes fine, but it doesn't have the expected impact on settings.  The above code adds an entry to the RDFL table rather than changing the DfltReport field in the RTYP table like I expected, so instead of setting the default report globally for all bps/users, its adding an entry to the RDFL table to set the value for a specific user/bp
    I experimented by including and setting the following properties to every combination I could think of with the same results
            oDefaultReportParams.UserID = 'tried 1, 0, -1
            oDefaultReportParams.CardCode = 'tried "", "0", "-1"
    Am I misunderstanding the API, or using the wrong objects/calls...? If all else fails I could accomplish this via the UI-API instead, but the application was intended to be a stand alone app that didn't rely on SAP B1 application running, so any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Please repost at SDK forum to get quick response. Close this thread here with helpful answer.
    Thanks.

  • Enable save for all users in rich client document defaultly for all users

    Hi,
    Is there a option to enable save for all users in a rich client document defaultly for all users across the company. As the users who are creating reports are forgetting to check the box before sending the rich client document to others. Kindly let me know if you have any suggestions on this.
    Thanks,
    Karthik

    I'd suggest that is is where your BO folder structure comes in. You can export from Rich Client to any folder that you have permissions to access - some sort of collaboration folder system would potentially be better and more secure than sending unsecured reports via email. If your IT security team found out that you were removing document security, I doubt they'd be impressed!
    You can't do the default save for all users, simple as that (it's bad practice anyway, which is probably why you can't). While it's not the answer that you want to hear, it is the correct one.

  • Powershell 4.0 How to use Add-Printer to add printer for all users (machine)

    Is there a way I can use Powershell 4.0 Add-Printer cmdlet to add a printer for all users (machine)?  I tried from an admin account but it only adds a printer for the currently logged on user.
    thanks.

    Adding a printer for all users requires having access to their profiles (and registry hive for user) to save the mapped printer information. Your best bet is to either use Group Policy Preferences or write a user logon script that ones when they log in and
    maps the printer if not already mapped. 
    Group Policy Preferences Example
    I wrote an article a while back that shows how to use a GPO logon script to map a printer. It doesn't use V4, but the process would be the same as far as a GPO goes.

  • CMDLET commands regarding setting a default font for all users using OWA on an exchange 2010 platform

    HI,
    We are running Exchange 2010 and are migrating users from 2003 to 2010 with no problems.  The client has asked me to set OWA font to LuidaSans which I can do for individuals with no problems.  However, when I try and run the following command
    Get-Mailbox -Resultsize Unlimited | Set-MailboxMessageConfiguration -LucidaSans but then got a message to state
    "property composefontname can't be set on this object becuase it requires the object to have version 0.1 <8.0.535.0> or later.  The object's currant version is 0.0 <6.5.6500.0>"
    What object is this reffered to?  Can anyone help please?
    Thanks
    Paul

    Hi,
    To set a default font for all users, you can use this command: -
    Get-Mailbox | Set-MailboxMessageConfiguration -DefaultFontName "Trebuchet"
    You can use any font style in place of “Trebuchet”.
    I hope this information will be helpful for you.

  • How can I create a default dock for all users (Mavericks)?

    I would like to modify the dock to display specific installed applications.
    I then want this dock to be the default dock for any users that log in.
    OS is Mavericks.
    All users are AD users.
    No server management.
    We use Deep Freeze to revert the Mac to the way we set it up.
    I can find info for previous versions of OSX; basically just copying the plist, but I can't find anything that works for Mavericks.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    You could set up a user template for new user accounts, but you can’t stop individual users from modifying their Dock to suit their needs.
    I don’t know how to modify the user template, so you’ll have to google for it.

  • Set default application for *all* users

    Hello people, my 1st post here, so forgive me for possible imprecisions, ambiguity, inappropriateness....
    When I search how to set/change the default app for opening some type of file I always find the answer "through the getinfo". But doing that, I only change the default application for the current user.
    I want to do that for all users of my mac, without repeating the getinfo process for each of them.
    Is there any adminstrative tools for doing that?
    Thank you.

  • CP3525dn, networked -- default duplex for all users (embedded web server)

    I want to set the default for all users on our networked CP3525dn to be duplex. I cannot find this option anywhere in the embedded web server. I have duplex turned on, of course, and users can set their own default to duplex, but I want it to be default for everyone--the default default, if you will.
    Is this possible? I'm fairly certain it's possible if the printer is connected to a computer and shared on the network (but I don't remember the specifics) but I can't find out how to do it if it's on the network on its own.
    Thanks!

    I don't believe you can.  It must be set for every user manually.
