Whilst the variables have the same name, the values will be toggled based upon the Workspace Control. Value printserver which is the NetBIOS name of your existing print server.

Value citrixserver which is the NetBIOS name of your Citrix print server.I have configured the variables as follows: STAGE THREE – Configure the Environment Variables within the RES Workspace Manager Management Console That’s it – you have now modified your building block. Paste the value from the clipboard into the Find what box. In Replace with, enter the value of your environment variable which is %printer% in my exampleĬhoose the Replace All option and click OK to confirm that the operation is complete. Select Replace under the Edit menu option Highlight the name of the print server that you wish to replace for the environment variable, and copy the value to the clipboard Right click your building block and Open With WordPad Normally, I would suggest that xml files are modified in notepad, as you do not run the risk of applying any formatting to the file. However, you cannot do a Replace All action with Notepad, so I am recommending the use of Wordpad instead. Please be careful though, and do not amend anything in the file unnecessarily

I was talking to Grant Tiller about a customer that had +500 printers that had to be created in RES Workspace Manager and he told me there was a solution to create printers in bulk so it wouldn’t be a manual job.
