RE: Problems with printmig 3.1

[Miller Bonnie L .]

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.

RE: Problems with printmig 3.1

[Miller Bonnie L .]

Wow, VERY strange.  I have working "backup" scripts that are scheduled using 
printmig, so I thought I'd start from there.  My backups have been working as I 
can see the generated cab files in my folder.

So, strange as it seems, I can replicate your problem IF I add the quotes 
around the filename--??? That seems very counterintuitive, but since I don't 
have them, I'm thinking I ran into this already a while back.  What works for 
me is something like this.

c:\tools\printmig -b \\servername\sharename\Prnbktst01.cab

As long as you take out the quotes it seems to run.
