Hi,

If you are a Domain Administrator and you are handling 100+ users in you environment then for installing printers or other drivers in normal user account is quite painful, for example if a normal users wants to install a printer which is shared on domain controller, he can’t install it from his own because, while installing printer it asked for administrator username and password, so you have to go to everyone’s desk and have to install printer manually.

To get rid of this problem, you can use pnputil.exe (inbuilt in windows7) to inject drivers in windows trusted folder.

You just need to store all of your drivers in a shared folder and write a simple batch script like:

Command syntax is:

pnputil.exe -a "path to the .inf file of the driver"

-a is used for add the device driver in to windows trusted folder.

In Below example I am inserting HP Printer Driver by using PnPutil. And after inserting the driver in to windows trusted folder, user just needs to double click on the Shared Printer and it will install automatically.

That's All
