Here’s some code to query what computers have a certain default printer with PowerShell:<\/p>\n
$PrinterNameSeek = \"\\\\XXXXXXX01\\XX_OFFICE_CLR_01\"\r\n\r\n$DefaultPrinterObject = Get-WmiObject -Query \" SELECT * FROM Win32_Printer WHERE Default=$true\"\r\n$DefaultPrinterName = $DefaultPrinterObject.Name.ToUpper()\r\n\r\nwrite-host $DefaultPrinterName\r\n\r\nif ($DefaultPrinterName -eq $PrinterNameSeek)\r\n\r\n{\r\n\r\nwrite-host $env:COMPUTERNAME\r\nwrite-host $env:username\r\n\r\nout-file \\\\XXXXXX\\logs\\$($env:COMPUTERNAME).$($env:username).XX_OFFICE_CLR_01.txt\r\n\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\nThis will need to be run as the end user to use $env:username, but if your ExecutionPolicy doesn’t allow it, you can remove it.<\/p>\n
After running this for a few days: you can do a “dir *.* > list.txt” and then import this into an Excel spreadsheet using the import data from text file feature.<\/p>\n
