printer shares

Find Those Printers

When decommisioning an older server in the environment, it is essential that all the former services are moved off it. This includes the existing applications (including databases), file shares and printer shares. Unfortunately there is no easy way to capture who is mapped to each of the pritner shares. Outside simply monitoring printer traffic, or visiting each desktop, Windows (AFIK) has no method of tracking this.

Hence another script. This script queries the active computer for all printers, then exports the 'resource name' (port) and share name to a CSV in a specific location.
