It will work with either. All the script does is use a native windows
rundll functions.
Now one thing to note is that the script there only does NATIVE drivers.
Meaning drivers that came on the win2k cd. If you have other drivers
(not on the cd) you can add them byt adding additional lines and
changing the path to the INF.

Ron,
Did you build this script to work with non terminal servers? I am
talking about upgrading our print server from NT 4.0 to Windows 2k, and
then finding a way around installing the 2k drivers for ALL of the
printers afterwards. It seems like this script was built to work with
terminal servers rather than plain old print servers? However, if I
could use it in my scenario as well that would be great.

Jon,
Ron Oglesby has a script at his web site that will do the bulk of it for
you. Thanks Ron!

Subject: [THIN] upgrading print server...
Hello,
We have an NT 4.0 print server, and our MF boxes are 2k. This
sucks, for many different reasons as I'm sure you all know. If we were
to upgrade our print server to 2k, we will probably have to then install
all the 2k versions of all the NT 4.0 drivers on that server. With a
ton of different printers on that server, that makes for a major
headache for me. I am looking for a utility that might somehow make
this whole process easier somehow. I am looking for a utility that
might allow me to upgrade my print server from NT4.0 to 2k, and not have
to install every single 2k version of every printer on the server. I am
NOT looking for a utility like Tricerat's Screwdrivers or something used
to get around the upgrading of the print server, because upgrading my
print server to 2k is something that I want to do anyhow.
Anybody know of a tool/utility that might do this???
Thanks,
/jL
