Windows 10: Adding a network printer with Local Group Policy Editor to the User Configuration

Hello all,


Ambience:

I work in a place that has a print server, with some network printers installed.

Normally we install printers in the users PC's accessing to the Local Group Policy Editor and adding the printer to the "User Configuration>Windows Settings>Deployed Printers".


This ambience gives us the freedom to, in case a user requests to have a different printer on his PC, to access to the PC to the LGP Editor remotely and add the printer.


Problem:

The problem is that if we decide to deploy a different printer to a list of computers we can do it remotely but only one by one.


Request:

So, I've decided to ask if any of you know a way to remotely add a printer to a remote computer, doing it by policy but with a command or something similar.

If we can do it this way it will allow us to deploy on multiple computers running a script.


I can insert a picture of the Local Group Policy Editor place where we add printers.




Thank you in advance to all

:)

Windows 10 Settings and Local Group Policy Editor

I was just curious to know if there is a way to easily locate all of the corresponding settings that are in the new Windows 10 Windows Settings app within the Local Group Policy Editor? The reason I ask is because I had recently discovered that several
of the settings that I have changed in the Windows Settings app have not stuck. This has occurred on several Windows 10 Enterprise systems that I had configured at work. However, the only way that I was able to make the settings stick was to modify them
in the Local Group Policy Editor instead. It took me some time to find the corresponding settings in the Local Group Policy Editor by searching on Google. That's why I would like to know if there is an easier way to find all of the corresponding settings
in the new Windows Settings app in the Local Group Policy Editor.

Thank you for your time and assistance,

David
