.SYNOPSIS
    Install printer drivers export file (*.printerExport) in a list of computers.
.DESCRIPTION
    Install printer drivers export file (*.printerExport) in a list of computers (plain computer list, OU or CSV file) using PSExec.
    To generate a printer export file with all print drivers, run PrintbrmUI.exe from the computer or server you want to export them.
    Be carefully because this tool exports all printers and ports too. I recommend install all drivers in a test computer without printers and export them using PrintbrmUI.exe.
    Alternatively, you can export all from print server, import in a test computer, delete printers and ports and export again to obtain a printerExport file with only drivers.
    If PSExec is not found on computer, script asks to the user for download it and extract in system folder.
    I recommend use PSExec latest version because v2.2 does not launch printbrm.exe properly.
.PARAMETER printerExportFile
    Path to the printerExport file
    To generate a printer export file with all print drivers, run PrintbrmUI.exe from the computer or server you want to export them.
    Be carefully because this tool exports all printers and ports too. I recommend install all drivers in a test computer without printers and export them using PrintbrmUI.exe.
    Alternatively, you can export all from print server, import in a test computer, delete printers and ports and export again to obtain a printerExport file with only drivers.
.PARAMETER ComputerList
    List of computers in install printer drivers. You can only use one source of target computers: ComputerList, OU or CSV.
    Example: SRV-RDSH-001,SRV-RDSH-002,SRV-RDSH-003 (Without quotation marks)
.PARAMETER OU
    OU containing computers in which install printer drivers.
    RSAT for AD module for PowerShell must be installed in order to query AD.
     - Install on Windows 10: Get-WindowsCapability -Online |? {$_.Name -like "*RSAT.ActiveDirectory*" -and $_.State -eq "NotPresent"} | Add-WindowsCapability -Online
     - Install on server: Install-WindowsFeature RSAT-AD-PowerShell
    Restart console after installation.
    If you run script from a Domain Controller, AD module for PowerShell is already enabled.
    You can only use one source of target computers: ComputerList, OU or CSV.
    Example: 'OU=Test,OU=Computers,DC=CONTOSO,DC=COM'
.PARAMETER CSV
    CSV file containing computers in which install printer drivers. You can only use one source of target computers: ComputerList, OU or CSV.
    Example: 'C:\Scripts\Computers.csv'
    CSV Format:
        Name
        Computer001
        Computer002
        Computer003
.PARAMETER LogPath
    Path where save log file.
    Default: My Documents
    Example: C:\Logs
.PARAMETER Credential
    Script will ask for an account to perform remote installation.
.EXAMPLE
    Install-PrinterExportRemoteComputers.ps1 -printerExportFile "\\MV-SRV-PR01\Drivers\print_drivers.printerExport" -OU "OU=RDS,OU=Datacenter,DC=CONTOSO,DC=COM"
.EXAMPLE
    Install-PrinterExportRemoteComputers.ps1 -printerExportFile "\\MV-SRV-PR01\Drivers\print_drivers.printerExport" -ComputerList SRVRSH-001,SRVRSH-002,SRVRSH-003 -Credential -LogPath C:\Temp\Logs
.EXAMPLE
    Install-PrinterExportRemoteComputers.ps1 -printerExportFile "\\MV-SRV-PR01\Drivers\print_drivers.printerExport" -CSV "C:\scripts\computers.csv"
