Hi All,

I have taken over yet another site of around 50 users, all on XP
workstations. They have a 2003 server that acts as a DC, and file and print
server.

They have around 20 odd network printers scattered over 4 floors, that have
all sorts of names and network addresses.

I want to rename them logically and give them all static addresses in order
of their name, so Laser 1 would be 192.168.100.201 for example.

Normally we would just rename the printer, change the IP address of it and
then manually remove the old queue from the relavant PC's and reattch the
new queue by connecting to \\server\laser1 <file://server/laser1>.

I feel there must be a better and less disruptive way of doing this,... what
do you guys do when managing large organisations?
