[Samba] Logoff script?

[Ryan Novosielski]

I looked into NET USE... problem is that it only allows for the three LPT
ports to be used, according to its help file.

Just FYI, here is a small script that I found information on from MS's
tech site. Might be of interest to someone else:

MapLabPrinters.vbs:

Set objNetwork = CreateObject("Wscript.Network")
objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\NJMSA-LM\ljnlab"
objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\NJMSA-LM\cpnlab1"
objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\NJMSA-LM\djnlab"
objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\NJMSA-LM\lp"
objNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\NJMSA-LM\ljnlab"

...this is pretty self explanatory. It's run with a program called
"CSCRIPT" that comes with Win2k.
