Print Server

I'm currently have a file/print server running Windows
2000. In the near future, I will be getting another
file/print server but running Windows 2003. Once this is
done, I will switch off the one runing Windows 2000. But
in the meantime, the problem I have is that I want to do
this without user invtervention. What I mean is have
members be able to keep their existing printers and there
local machine but use the Windows 2003 file/print server
to print. Is there a way to do this. Can I change a
registry key to reflect the changes?

This is just to save time and user having to re-install
there printers again.

Thanks for reading this e-mail.

Look into con2prt.exe from the resource kit - you can create a batch file
that will delete old printer references and create new printers, and set one
as default. This is very very easy and you can even use it in your login
script.....
