PushPrinterConnections.exe "not a valid Win32 application"
XP clients AMD x64 & intel x86 machine gpo set to add printers based on location. eventlog shows: ___________________________________________________ Event Type: Error Event Source: UserInit Event Category: None Event ID: 1000 Date: 10/2/2007 Time: 10:54:03 AM User: N/A Computer: XXXXXXXx Description: Could not execute the following script pushprinterconnections.exe. . For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. ____________________________________________________ running pushprinterconnections.exe on any client has popup "not a valid Win32 application". running PPC.exe on DC works fine. I have tried to add printers with vbs, bat, and PPC, nothing has worked, never any log. ANy help GREATLY appreciated!! Are you running an x64 version of pushprinterconnections.exe on the x86
clients? I normally run the x86 binary on x86 and x64 clients which does work. if the application runs it will create a log with the -log switch, but I do not think you are getting that far. I am not sure how the binary was packaged on x64 R2 server but verify you have the x86 version. -- Show quoteAlan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;[ln];kbhowto This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Beat me, whip me, make me write bad checks for not thinking of that. This is my first x64 Server!

I normally run the file from the DC sysvol share or other network share as a logon script in the policy so the network will be up for sure to make the connection . I have seen issue where disabling Fast Logon Optimization is required to get the printer connections but I have never had to do this when running the binary from a network share. I'd specify -log initially to get the ppcuser.log in %temp% for connections per user or ppcmachine.log in %windir%\temp for connections per machine. -- Show quoteAlan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;[ln];kbhowto This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
