[THIN] Re: OT: changing print server

I also think the guys over at ctrl-alt-del.com.au have a tool for this.

It looks like this may work.

we just did the same thing - here's a vbs script written by our crack script kiddie

 

 

On Error Resume Next

 

Dim objWMIService, objNetwork

Dim colItems

Dim strComputer, strNewServer

 

Set objNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")

 

strComputer = "."

strNewServer = "Your_New_Print_Server_Name_Here"

 

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Printer",,48)

 

For Each objItem in colItems

     If lcase(objItem.ServerName) = "\\your_old_print_server_name_here" then

          objNetwork.RemovePrinterConnection objItem.ServerName & "\" & objItem.ShareName, true, true

          objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\" & strNewServer & "\" & objItem.Sharename

     End If

Next

I've already got the new print server (server2) with all printers installed.

However, the users out there are still referencing

 

printer1 on server1

 

I'd like all the printers to reference server2.

 

I can tell the users to delete all the printers and add the new ones, but I was hoping there would be an automatic way of doing this.  Does Print Migration do this?

All our Windows XP clients are configured to go to server1.  Is the a way to automatically update their printers to go to server2? Update their printers?   ________________________________________ Hector Minero NSWCDD Code K55
