but i dont understend were i put my old/new server config

and my code is

if not exist %SystemRoot%\\system32\\prnmgr.vbs copy \\\\servername\\prnmgr.vbs %SystemRoot%\\system32
if not exist %SystemRoot%\\system32\\con2prt.exe copy \\\\servername\\con2prt.exe %SystemRoot%\\system32
if not exist %SystemRoot%\\system32\\prnadmin.dll copy \\\\servername\\prnadmin.dll %SystemRoot%\\system32

if exist %temp%\\printers.txt del %temp%\\printers.txt
if exist %temp%\\parseprint.txt del %temp%\\parseprint.txt
if exist %temp%\\printout.txt del %temp%\\printout.txt
REM *Makes sure that prnmgr.vbs, prnadmin.dll, and con2prt.exe exist on the workstation*

%systemroot%\\system32\\regsvr32.exe /s %systemroot%\\system32\\prnadmin.dll >nul
REM *Registers prnadmin.dll*

CScript //H:CScript //S 1>nul 2>nul
REM *Sets Cscript as the default script language for the local PC’s OS and sends output to a file*

prnmgr -l >%temp%\\printers.txt
REM *Prints a list of attached network printers to a text file*

find "PrinterName" %temp%\\printers.txt >%temp%\\printout.txt
REM *Finds the line PrinterName and sends to a new text file*

FOR /F "tokens=2,2 delims=: " %%i in (%temp%\\printout.txt) do @echo %%i>>%TEMP%\\parseprint.txt
REM *Parses and leaves only the UNC name of network printer to a text file*

FOR /F %%i in (%TEMP%\\parseprint.txt) do if "%%i"=="\\\\printserver\\X001" prnmgr -dc "\\\\printserver\\X001" && con2prt /cd "\\\\newservr\\hplaserj"

can some one send me acopy of you script
i dont understend were i put my old/new server config

thx

It's all looking good so far but I'm a little confused.
Granted, con2prt will set the default printer, but I can't see anywhere in the script that determines what your default printer already is / was, in order for con2prt to set the correct corresponding new printer.

Sorry if I'm being a bit dumb here, but I'm a scripting pygmy. :-)

If I wanted to take this script and have it further parse out different printer names and run for each printer found without having to go back and edit the script for printers how would this work?

I can use FOR /F "tokens=2,2 delims=\\ " %%i in (\\\\jerry\\scripts\\parseprint.txt) do @echo %%i>>\\\\jerry\\scripts\\parseprint2.txt and get the printer names into a file

How would I further change FOR /F %%i in (\\\\jerry\\scripts\\parseprint.txt) do if "%%i"=="\\\\foghorn\\Wayland" prnmgr -dc -b "\\\\foghorn\\Wayland"
con2prt /cd "\\\\hfsprint\\wayland"

To pull each printer name out and make the changes as needed?
