I am about to move all my NetWare printers over to a Win2k server in an NT4 domain and am looking for some advice. There are nearly 100 printers but I don't intend to automate their migration as this gives me the opportunity do some cleanup. I don't mind putting them in manually. While I have a mix of Wintendo, NT and Win2k, I will make these new printers only available to Win2k clients. All other clients will have to upgrade to Win2k to use them.
What I have a problem getting my mind around is that unlike NetWare where an installed printer is available to every user that logs on to the box (per-machine), NT printers are not. They are setup per-user. We don't use roaming profiles (and don't want to) so when a user logs on to a box for the first time there will not be any printers defined. We have always defined the printers per-machine as our offices (and printers) are spread out around the mill.
I also need some way to script the removal of the NetWare printers from the Win2k clients.
Any suggestions?
