I'm not trying to do a restore of the printer queues,
just a backup in case I lose a print server. I'm also
running a *.bat file and scheduled task.
printmig -b etc. The problem is that I have to run it
under an administrative account for it to work...big
security issue with this one. What permissions does the
account have that you were using for the restore?
