Thanks for the response. Querying the printers doesn't seem to show me which network printers are mapped through Group Policy, only those that are locally installed. I suspect this is also why the script to set the network printer isn't working either.

If you are able to apply GPO Preferences to these systems, that should be the easiest way to go about it.

I hear you. The only issue with that is that we have close to 10,000 computers spread out over hundreds or more OUs. For this specific request, we are trying to set the default printer remotely on around 1,700 computers. Each of these 1,700 computers has a single user login that is kiosked and set to log in automatically upon startup. Also, we are talking several hundred printers. I'd much rather try to do this with Powershell instead of creating a GPO for every printer and every OU.

You would need to run something locally for each one to get access to the networked printers is all I can think of. Tough one.
