Share a printer to non domain user
Dear All, I have add the "print services" role and added a printer object in the domain controler. But my issues is when some one outside the domain tries to find the printer, it will not be always detectable for him . How the printer can be always detectable? Abdulaziz

When you say "detectable", I assume that you mean that this non-domain user does not find the printer on any type of browse list. You can always provide the non-domain users with the UNC path to the printer such as \\PrintServer\PrintShare. Since the user is not part of the domain, the user will be prompted for credentials. On another note, adding the Printer Role on the DC is probably not the best configuration for a Domain Controller. Visit: anITKB.com, an IT Knowledge Base.

You can create a batch file put net use \\servername\printer /user:username password
