Mass Update – IPX to IP Print Queues

by markinsac . Updated 24 years, 9 months ago

I work in a multi-campus area, and we finishing up the update of users to Win2000. Unfortunately, we were not ready to move people to IP printer queues at that time, and are now ready to convert from IPX to IP and migrate the Novell servers off thesystem.

Is there a way to run a script for this the next time the user logs in to the network? Ideally, we would want to save off which printer the user has as default (and update the name to the new one). If needed, a table could be used to map the old and new names. All printers in their mapping would need to be converted. After completion, the default printer would be mapped to the same printer with the new name. Our network admins are looking at this, but thought it might be an idea to see if anyone has done this before.

Is there a way to do this, or are we looking at too much trouble? If it is possible, does anyone have any suggested scripts?

Thanks,

Mark
