RE: How to Create a TCP/IP PrinterPort on a MS Cluster 2k3 via Scr

Like Dennis said allready. The .vbs tools like portmgr.vbs will only add the
port/printer on the physical node only. NOT in de cluster resource!

I'm desperate looking for a script to do it the right way!

If you are working with HP printers and using telnet net the following VBS
script will rename the printer for you. Save this to a
Rename-HP-Printers.vbs.
The command is as follows.
Rename-HP-Printers.vbs IP-ADDRESS,PRINTER-NAME
Rename-HP-Printers.vbs 10.10.10.100,MY-TEST-PRINTER

Option Explicit
Dim ArgObj, FileName
Dim objShell, WshShell
Dim FSO, WSHs,vAppPath,RF,RL,ipadd,hostname,pos,has_error

set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")


Set ArgObj = WScript.Arguments
RL = ArgObj(0)


has_error = FALSE

If Instr(RL, ",") > 0 Then
pos = Instr(RL, ",")-1
ipadd=mid(rl,1,pos)
hostname = mid (RL,pos+2,len(RL)-pos)
' wscript.Echo "!" & hostname & "!"
objShell.Run("cmd")
WScript.Sleep 750
objShell.SendKeys "telnet " & ipadd
WScript.Sleep 750
objShell.SendKeys "{Enter}"
WScript.Sleep 750
objShell.SendKeys "HOST-NAME:" & hostname
WScript.Sleep 750
objShell.SendKeys "{Enter}"
WScript.Sleep 750
objShell.SendKeys "quit"
WScript.Sleep 750
objShell.SendKeys "{Enter}"
WScript.Sleep 750
objShell.SendKeys "y"
WScript.Sleep 750
objShell.SendKeys "{Enter}"
WScript.Sleep 750
objShell.SendKeys "{Enter}"
WScript.Sleep 750
objShell.SendKeys "exit"

has_error = TRUE
Wscript.Echo RL
End If

If has_error Then
Wscript.Echo " File has an error"

Hy,
I actually have a problem by creating a Printer Port on a Windows 2003
Cluster.
Cluster Configuaration:
2-Node active/active Cluster
each Node have 2 virtual PrintServer

By using the GUI "Serverproperties" to add Ports, it's all fine.
But I haven't found yet a method to do this by Script.
All available Scripts (prnmngr.vbs, prnport.vbs) create or edit Ports or
Printer for the Physical Node. Not really helpful.

I also tried to edit the Registry under:
HKLM\Cluster\Resources\<RecoureID>\Parameters\Monitors\Standard TCP/IP
Port\Ports

This Method looks like it runs, but it doesn't synchronizes the Entries to
the other Node.

Does anyone have a working method to create a TCP/IP Port onto a
virtualPrinter in MSCS.

I'm getting silly by adding Ports manualy with the GUI.

Please Help me......
