Installing Printers Over A.D.

[Benjamin]

I am in an orginazation with over 128 PCs. We have had to
build and deploy a new print server. Now that the new
server is up, and the old one is down, I am having to go
to each PC and set up each printer individualy for each
user of each PC. This isn't fun guys! Is there an easier
way of removing the old printers, and installing the new
ones through Active Directory or Systems Management Server?

You can use a logon script to add and delete the printers.

The command to delete is
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /dn /n "printer"
To add the new printer use
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n\\printserver\printer
To get the all the options available type the following at a command prompt
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /?
