Its this sort of thing that appears to be more of a pain that it really should be.
Printing isn’t going to go away, yet we don’t seem to have moved forward in management for over a decade.

However, it stopped working under W7. Have you tried using an alias in DNS? Regards, Hank Arnold [MVP Logo_Small] Consumer Security “There are 10 kinds of people in the world...

It is a pain – I'm in the middle of moving users over to a new print server without leaving “ghost” printers. Not easy.

Printers are deployed through AD with user rights however, if we change who has rights to a printer, the printer will remain on the person's workstation- who lost rights to it- and is not accessible. Aren't printers automatically removed from a person's machine if rights change or the printer is no longer shared?
