Script to redirect printer and drive mappings

[Sabir Ahmedi]

Hi all,
I have a DC which also serves as my file and print box. I also have another
DC where I would like to redirect print and drive mappings in the evnt the
main DC/file/print goes down. Any ideas??

For drive mappings look into DFS (distributed file system), where you have
replicas of the same folder on multiple servers, and you access shares in
the form of \\domain.local\yourroot\.... This way you are machine
independent.

If you are using logon scripts then you have possibility to change logon
script to map printers to another server. If your printers are network
printers, then you can have it connected to multiple servers, so you just
need to redirect printer. I think your approach is quite good (script).
