Subject: Listing printers in AD after domain migration
Date: Mon, 17 May 2004 07:43:52 -0700
We have several W2K print servers that are currently in a
NT4 domain. We are in the process of migrating those
servers to our new AD enabled W2K domain. In the W2K AD
enabled domain, we have set the policies for publishing
printers to "Enabled" (Policies are "Allow printers to be
published to the Directory" and "Automatically publish new
printers in the Active Directory"). We migrated one of
the servers (more or less a test server). The migration
went well -- no real problems. Any new printers that are
created are automatically shared and listed in the AD.
The problem appears to be with existing shared printers.
After the migration, they continue to be shared, however,
they are not automatically set to be listed in the AD (the
check box for the "List in the Directory" option under the
Properties/Sharing tab is left unchecked). We have over
4000 network printers, and do not want to have to touch
each one to make this change. Is there an automated way
to get each shared printer advertised in the AD either
during or after the domain migration? Thanks!

This script will publish all shared printers on a machine. Enjoy
