bioman bioman Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-05-22 Posts: 8	Very new to scripting. We're in the process of moving and will be re-creating our printers on a new printer server. How do I delete everyone's network printers from a kix script and then add the new printers to everyone's desktop on login? thanks a bunch.
