Guest Jeff Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 I have 3 Windows 2000 domain controllers: 1.) print server / dns server 2.) file server / dns server 3.) dhcp server unfortunately my print server crashed (hardware error). I was able to rebuild all printers on the file server, and instructed users to delete current printers, and add new printers from new print server. After repairing the original print server, and everything is running back to normal, is there a way or script I can use to change the user's printers ?: from \\newserver\printer1 to: \\oldserver\printer1 the share names are identical on both servers. thanks Jeff

Hi Jeff, Certainly can, a little bit of VbScript will do see attached, fill in the variables and rename to .vbs. It should work if you just change the server names at the top. If it doesn't do what you expect remove the "On Error Resume Next" line, that suppresses errors which won't help if it's not working.
