How to do it...

Once you have created the logon script GPO, as shown previously, it's time to create the script:

1. Using the ISE, open the script file you created in the introduction to this recipe and enter the logon script:

      # Sales Group Logon Script.ps1
      # Logon Script for Sales Group to add printer
      # 1. Start transcript
      Start-Transcript -Path C:\transcript\transcript.txt 
                       -Append
      # 2. Log information to the transcript
      '*** Logon script - Sales GVroup Logon Script.ps1'
      '*** Date/time: [{0}]' -f (Get-Date)
      # 3. Setup up printer connection then try to connect
      $Connection = 'PSRV\SGCP1'
      Try {
           $Printer = Get-Printer -Name $Connection
           If ($Printer)
           {
               '*** Sales group printer found'
                $Printer
            }
            Else 
                {Throw "Printer not found"}
      }
      Catch {
            '*** SG Printer does not exist'
            '*** Date/time: [{0}]' -f (Get-Date)
            '*** Adding SG Printer '
            Add-Printer -ConnectionName $connection -Verbose
            Get-Printer -Name $Connection
            '******';''
      }
      # 5. And stop the transcript
      Stop-Transcript

1. Once you create and save the script, you can test it by logging onto the SG-CL1 computer and displaying the file C:\Transcript\Transcript.txt, which on the first logon looks like this:

1. Once the logon script has installed the printer, subsequent logon scripts create a transcript entry that looks like this:
