VB Code / Script to list all the printers in active directory.
Hi
In the days of NT, I would use net view \\printserver and get a list of all the nt served printer queues on the named print server. In my company, each printer had a comment field with it, who had the building/floor number where the printer was - this was great, I could create a list which my dos scripts could use. When we moved to XP and the printer people decided that they would store the location in a different field in AD, so the net view command still lists the queue name, bur no longer lists the location/comment of the printer. I'm told that a very simple bit of VB code / script can be used to extract the required data, but I not a VB coder, so have no idea how to start Can anyone provide me with code which can extract printer info from active directory Thanks MIke |

You'll probably need to ask this either in a VB newsgroup or the Servers
newsgroup. Sorry, Cari www.coribright.com "MIke C" wrote in message ...
