Glad to help get confirmation . I'd still investigate the GPO publishing track if you have the time.

And done it. I think this is the part that I just wanted to verify: ------------------- In most cases, a new print server will not affect other computers in the enterprise. Existing client connections may be corrupted if you make a change to any of the following print server properties: The print server name The printer name The print share name The share permissions The printer's availability to the server ------------------- I'm not changing any of those, so I should be OK. Still not sure if I should unpublish and unshare from the old server first, Just In Case. That's really what I am asking ... AH HA! And I didn't read closely enough ... < http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd379557(v=ws.10).aspx > ----- When you restore printers to the destination server, do not publish printers to AD DS. This prevents duplicate printers from being displayed by AD DS before the destination server configuration is verified. On the source server, you must unpublish printers before renaming the source server. To do this, select all printers in the Print Management snap-in, right-click the selected printers, and then click Remove from Directory. This prevents printers from being published twice to AD DS when the source server is renamed. After renaming the destination server to the source server's original name, you can publish all printers on the destination server to AD DS. To do this, select all printers in the Print Management snap-in, right-click the selected printers, and then click List in directory. ----- There you go, that's what I needed. Confirmation to do exactly what I was planning to do anyway. :-) Thanks ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT: The information transmitted, or contained or attached to or with this Notice is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain Protected Health Information (PHI), confidential and/or privileged material.
