[wpkg-users] point&print drivers

The trick was to use something like runas as Thomasz suggested.  You
probably already notice that RUNAS isn't scripting friendly.  I use
instead  CPAU.

http://www.joeware.net/freetools/tools/cpau/index.htm

My install XML look like this :


<install cmd='%SOFTWARE%\scripts\cpau.exe -u eslt\administrateur -wait
- -outprocexit -p wonttell -ex "rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n
\\esltps004\a2-027"' />

I then put a similar line in the simple user's logonscript

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /z /n \\esltps004\a2-027
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /y /n \\esltps004\a2-027

The second line is used to set the default printer.

Voilà!

Now the CPAU tools can use an encrypted password for scripting, I will
need to look into that, later.

I think savecred is use on win2k3.

Not if the wpkg user is running local system account.  But I guess I
could have choose a domain account instead.
