Add a printer script

Question

We have an old print server that is going to be taken offline because the hardware is starting to fail, and we now have a Print Server system running virtually. The old servers name is different than the new because of a new naming convention that has been pushed down by managment, so I would like to write a script that would add new printer that point to the new print server and remove the old printer that points to the old print server.

Answer 1

Since you seem to be running 2008 server you could deploy your printers with Group Policies. This may be easier then writing a script.
