Ahh... I see... haven't tried remotely. Yes, I have scheduled the jobs locally on all my print servers. Set up some cmd files a while back where all I have to do is use the servername at the cmd line and it will set up the at jobs on that server. I can send it offlist if you want, but I have to run to a meeting...

You're doing that locally, on the server with the printer definitions? I have a share called "print", where we run the "CON2PRT" utility; I'll try running printmig -b \\abbtfil001\print\abbtfil001.cab \\abbtfil001 Doesn't seem to work, either ... you're running locally? I'm trying to do this remotely. I'm sure I can script it to run locally as you do above, but I wanted to just have to schedule one job, in one place, that would cycle through the half dozen or so servers that are print servers. > > -BOnnie > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2008 12:30 PM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: RE: Problems with printmig 3.1 > > > BTW ... works perfectly if I say "printmig \\ABBTFIL001". > Unfortunately, it's interactive ...
