This is the deal: Server name is "WTH-DC02" Domain name is "LPS" Server (WTH-DC02) is a DC. It is also my print server with several printer queues.

Server name "WTH-DC01" was my first DC in the domain.
ANYWAYS..I rebuilt wth-dc02 because of hard drive failure.
After rebuilding, I gave same name, IP, restored all printer queues, etc. Everything works well except, when i go to a client PC and try to print, it say access denied, unable to connect on the printer status. To resolved the matter, I reinstalled the printer, but noticed that it says
\\sharename\wth-dc02.lps.int when it use to be \\sharename\wth-dc02. I have tons of client pc pointing to the WTH-DC02. How can I rename WTH-DC02.lps.int to WTH-DC02? Is there a quick way to remove the lps.int?

Thanks a bunch
 
Sorry do you mean the clients are point to
\\wth-dc02.lps.int\sharename instead of
\\wth-dc02\sharename?

Is this causing you problems printing?

 
That is correct. The problem is causing is that I then have to touch every client and redirect to different servername.

I never put the lps.int. I think it grabbed it when I joined the "lps" domain.
