symptom

NDPS printer agents have a preferred RMS and preferred ENS to some remote Broker.

It is often time consuming to manually select a preferred RMS and ENS on each printer agent.

fix

With NDPSM v2.20f and later, you can actually specify from the NDPS command load line which RMS and ENS you want to have the NDPS Manager default to. Here is the syntax:

LOAD NDPSM ".NDPS-MGR-NAME.OU.O" /SETRMS=NDPS-BROKER.OU.O /SETENS=NDPS-BROKER.OU.O

or

LOAD NDPSM ".NDPS-MGR-NAME.OU.O" /SETRMS=.NDPS-BROKER.OU.O /SETENS=.NDPS-BROKER.OU.O

This will be the equivalent to going to all the printer agents on that NDPS Manager and manually selecting the same Broker for the RMS and ENS.
