Ok,
I have 500 remote locations. They consist of 2 networked nt 4 sp6 workstations.
Remotely, that is by sending a CD or by a polling program, I need to add a printer.
Both WK2 and XP has this functionality, however NT does not, (or at least I havent
found it).
I found a reference to using the WSH in Perl, but not examples.
TIA

I Don't understand what you mean...
Are you asking how to attach to a printer that is on your network?
Is the printer have its own IP address ? Or is it shared on a windows
machine on that network.
\\111.111.111.111 to attach to the IP assigned printer
\\machine\sharename(akaprintername) to attach to the printer on a
windows machine.
Not sure how you would do it in perl but it shouldn't be to hard using
the supplied info.
That's assuming I understand you correctly.
Describe what you want to do and then let us decide on what's relevant
as far as info goes :)

Subject: Adding a printer remotely
Hello,
Does anyone know how to add a printer in Perl remotely on a NT 4
system?
I have been googling for a while and found some info about WSH and
cscript, but it doesn't work on NT. (or I haven't figured it out yet).
Please advise any possibilities that you might have.
