Scripting Network Printers?
We are decommissioning an old server that currently is one of our print servers (printserver1). We want to create a login script to check and remove all printers on printserver1 then check and add those same printers which have been loaded and shared out on our new print server (printserver2). All machines are running XP pro w/ SP2. we have about 200 users in our office. I've never done scripting before except for simple batch files, so any guidance, help, suggestions would be great. i found this sample script to add multiple network printers. Here is the example script:
' VBScript to map two printers from two servers ' Guy Thomas February 2004. ' ****************************** Dim multiPrinter, UNCpath1, UNCpath2 UNCpath1 = "\\Server1\printer1" UNCpath2 = "\\Server2\printer2" Set multiPrinter = CreateObject("WScript.Network") multiPrinter.AddWindowsPrinterConnection UNCpath1 multiPrinter.AddWindowsPrinterConnection UNCpath2 WScript.Echo "Your printer is mapped from : " & UNCpath1 _ & "and from : " & UNCpath2 WScript.Quit ' End of example VBScript Since this will be used as a login script, how do i get it to run a check to see if the printers are already installed, and if they are already installed, then it moves on to the next printer? i DON'T want the script to delete the current printer and add it back each time the person logs on to a machine. Also what do i need to add to have it check and then delete printers if present from the old server? Finally i dont want any sort of window to show with the results of the script, or a window stating that it connected the printer. i want it to be seemless so a user logs on to there machine and appears as though it booted up normally with no windows popping up. thanks Ob1 .
