Hello All,
How can i list/remove attached printers on a remote workstation from the
print server?
Is there a way?
TIA,
Altria
 
See http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/Printer Scripts.htm.

The scripts on that page are included in Windows XP and 2003. So, if the
print server is Windows 2000, they won't be on the print server, but you
could run the script from any Windows XP computer.

In particular:

cscript prnmngr.vbs -l [-s RemoteComputer] [-u UserName -w Password]
 
Thanks Bruce,
Yeah i found out about XP extended features to run these programs. Although
it works from my xp machine machine I am unable to run it using pstools on a
remote machine any ideas why?
TIA,
Altria

I'm not really familiar with "pstools". If the target computer is not
running Windows XP or Windows 2003 Server, I suspect it will be missing some
things that are required by these scripts I referred to.
