I like to modify my script to run in a logon script or to run againsta multiple PCs, it works great if run onlocal PC only, if i use option 1 and pull multiple PCs it does not collect all the info corectly say PC2 it does not collect \\Server\PrintShare
I lkike to collect Printer information from each oser what printers are installed on there machine, and what Printer is set as there default, I was tring to gather this into a spreatsheet . We need to collect this info for hundrends of users.
Is powershell the best tool for this, or VBScript ?
