you must have administritive permissions on the printer cluster to make these changes

also i'm presuming you have read this article? it's very good for syntax and parameters http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/prncnfg.mspx?mfr=true

The account used explicitly (by entering the -u and -w flags) as well as my logged in account on my XP Professional workstation both are domain administrators and are a part of the local administrators group on that remote server.  Are you speaking of a different place other than "Users and Groups"?

Also, I have read that article and the syntax of the commands are correct and working on the non clustered servers.  It is as if the changes are not "sticking" on the 2003 Print Cluster.  I even tried to execute the above commands against the individual servers in the cluster and that failed as well.

have you tried raising the ad functionality? or is it already 2003 native? i know with older functionality the print cluster does not respond well to commands

Yes, our Active Directory environment is 2003 native.  Thanks for the quick responses by the way.  I'm willing to answer any questions anyone may have to find a quick solution.  

Thanks again!

These are also some great articles that may help, thew fallover article is probably more relevant to your situation

No I haven't read that article.  This is probably due to the fact that I am not suspecting corrupt drivers, however; within the article you posted, I did find a link to yet another article on how to create the Print Cluster Server http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278455/EN-US/.  Within that article is a reference to the key that stores the printer queues and ports in the cluster:

HKLM\Cluster\Resources\%Spooler GUID%\Parameters\Monitors

This may assist me in a work around via the registry if need be, however; I'd really like to be able to configure the print queues via prncnfg.vbs if at all possible.

i think i've got it, the queuename should be defined with -q queuename -r 10.10.10.200 not cscript c:\windows\system32\prncnfg.vbs -t -s \\servername -p queuename -r 10.10.10.200 you have used -p which is printername and not -q which is queue name

-q is not a valid option for prncnfg.vbs...I tried to use it even though it's not in the syntax list however it just gave me the command syntax message.

Usage: prncnfg [-gtx?] [-s server][-p printer][-z new printer name]
               [-u user name][-w password][-r port name][-l location]
               [-m comment][-h share name][-f sep file][-y datatype]
               [-st start time][-ut until time][-i default priority]
               [-o priority][<+|->shared][<+|->direct][<+|->hidden]
               [<+|->published][<+|->rawonly][<+|->queued][<+|->enablebidi]
               [<+|->keepprintedjobs][<+|->workoffline][<+|->enabledevq]
               [<+|->docompletefirst]

Arguments:
-f     - separator file name
-g     - get configuration
-h     - share name
-i     - default priority
-l     - location string
-m     - comment string
-o     - priority
-p     - printer name
-r     - port name
-s     - server name
-st    - start time
-t     - set configuration
-u     - user name
-ut    - until time
-w     - password
-x     - change printer name
-y     - data type string
-z     - new printer name

-?     - display command usage
Examples:
prncnfg -g -s server -p printer
prncnfg -x -s server -p printer -z "new printer"
prncnfg -t -p printer -l "Building A/Floor 100/Office 1" -m "Color Printer"
prncnfg -t -p printer -h "Share" +shared -direct
prncnfg -t -p printer +rawonly +keepprintedjobs
prncnfg -t -p printer -st 2300 -ut 0215 -o 1 -i 5

you are using the prncnfg command which allows you to view or configure the properties of a printer with this command only the -o switch is relevant as it lets you prioritise the spooler queue priority ,

Try using prnport to specify the queuename first

Prnport -a -r PortName [-s ComputerName] [-u UserName -w Password] -h IPAddress
[-o {raw -n PortNumber | lpr}] [-q QueueName] [-m{e | d}] [-i IndexName] [-y
CommunityName] [-2{e | d}]

this is a great ebook that i have, you can keep it lol excuse the profanity in the url it's not my doing :-) http://ot.talkin-shit.net/ebooks/Microsoft/Scripting/How%20to%20Cheat%20at%20Windows%20System%20Administration%20Using%20Command%20Line%20Scripts.pdf

I do add the port using the prnport.vbs command first.  It even shows up when I list all printers on the server, however; it won't let me point to that port using the prncnfg.vbs command.  (see below)
