Thanks, Ron The solution you offered is perfect provided my users are only work through Citrix. Unfurtunately I still have old server holding old patient information system and it's engine (jshell) prints to the UNC path. A lot of my users have their printers mapped to the UNC name of the OLD server as well. Ultimately I'd like to end up with same NetBIOS name for the NEW server so I won't have to bother with UNC mapped printers on the client desktop. After I do what you suggested and have my Citrix users print to the NEW server can I rename it to the OLD server's name and let everybiody else print too? Or I better have them both online for some time and replace client desktops printers maually?

Make a test account and have it auto create printers from the old server. Then remove the printers from the user (in the CMC) and assign him the new ones.=20 Then log back in as the user and make sure the "old" printers don't show up. Just the new ones.

Org (E-mail) Subject: [THIN] replacing imported printserver Hi group, I have an NT 4 server holding all my network printers (about 15). This server also is imported into the Citrix MF XP FR1 farm. Server is quite important for the environment and the task is to minimise the downtime for replacing it with new W2K box. My network consist mostly of legacy W95/98 clients and I just recently upgraded the PDC to Windows 2000 and AD so I still run in mixed mode and most of my clients use UNC path to map printers. Here is the plan: Build a W2k server aside, install all the printers and test everything. Then quit the domain and shutdown current printserver, give new server old name and IP address and let it fly... Anybody accomplished something similar or maybe there are better ways to do this? And the last thing: When I import printserver in the Citrix farm, is there domain security issues involved or it's just a UNC link in the datastore?
