JSI Tip 9725. How can I return the shortServerName, printShareName, printerName, location, portName, serverName, driverName, and distinguishedName of the Active Directory published printers?

Using ADFind.exe freeware, I have scripted PubPrint.bat to return the shortServerName, printShareName, printerName, location, portName, serverName, driverName, and distinguishedName of the Active Directory published printers, using a semi-colon delimited format.

The syntax for using PubPrint.bat is:

PubPrint

PubPrint.bat contains:

@echo off
setlocal
set qry=ADFIND -default -nodn -f "(objectClass=printQueue)" distinguishedName printerName printShareName portName driverName location shortServerName serverName
for /f "Skip=3 Tokens=1* Delims=:" %%a in ('%qry%') do (
 set p1=%%a
 set p2=%%b
 call :attr
)
endlocal
goto :EOF
:attr
set p1=%p1:~1,6%
set p2=%p2:~1%
if "%p1%" EQU "distin" set dn=%p2%&goto :EOF
if "%p1%" EQU "locati" set loc=%p2%&goto :EOF
if "%p1%" EQU "server" set sn=%p2%&goto :EOF
if "%p1%" EQU "portNa" set port=%p2%&goto :EOF
if "%p1%" EQU "driver" set drvr=%p2%&goto :EOF
if "%p1%" EQU "printS" set shr=%p2%&goto :EOF
if "%p1%" EQU "printe" set prtn=%p2%&goto :EOF
if "%p1%" EQU "shortS" goto srvsn
goto :EOF
:srvsn
set srvsn=%p2%
@echo "%srvsn%";"%shr%";"%prtn%";"%loc%";"%port%";"%sn%";"%drvr%";"%dn%"
set shr=
set loc=
set port=
