How do I add everyone to the lpadmin group on a mac via a script.
How do I add everyone to the lpadmin group on a mac via a script. I found the following command but it requires a password after it has run. Is there any way to automate this?
dseditgroup -o edit -u itadmin -p -a everyone -t group _lpadmin
dseditgroup -o edit -u itadmin -p -a everyone -t group _lpadmin

Try running this as an online shell Script which should allow you to do it.

Use Online Shell Script
Add Machines to the list.
Choose MAC OS X versions from the supported OS list.
Enable "Run As User:" and enter a local administrator credentials
Paste the following into "Script Text"
sudo dseditgroup -o edit -t group -a everyone _lpadmin
Then hit "Run Now".
Tested and Works!

Once I choose the Mac OSX versions it will not allow Run As User. This message pops up in that area:
Run As options are only available for Online KScripts and Online Shell Scripts for Windows. - WGM_Jeff 12 years ago -
Yes... i am using Online Shell Script and using "Run As" with admin credentials.
I also have the following in the "script text" box and it works great.
sudo dseditgroup -o edit -t group -a everyone _lpadmin - samuelcolt 12 years ago

Try running it an shell script, with the sudo command in front.
