Just found this; the .vbs errors out on the second line of either, i.e. the declaration of the constant.

Did you execute this script with admin privilege?

Yes! I have applied DPrintScreen.vbs on GPO’s Computer Configuration Startup Script as well.
Also given the user administrators previlege.
But when the user login using Remote Desktop Connection, he can still print screen.

This script required admin rights to modify registry settings, So, if u put it as user logon script, it will not work, u have to set it as computer logon script, so it can execute with system account privilege.

Check the screen shot, i have applied it on Computer Configuration startup script.

Hope this will solve your problem.

Thanks

You are right! When appied directly to XP desktop, it works perfectly after logout and login.
Now I really want it to work also when users login to my server(using Remote Desktop Connection).
I followed exactly the steps above. Added the DPrintScreen.vbs in my windows 2000 server GPO’s Computer Startup script and the User login script. Then restarted the server.
But the problem is that it will still allow the user to printscreen. Any ideas? Thanks for your kind help.
