    I need to rename a redirected printer but so far my Internet forum searches have not helped dealing with this error:

    Rename-Printer -InputObject $printer -NewName DIYAR-PRINTER
Rename-Printer : Access was denied to the specified resource.
At line:1 char:1
+ Rename-Printer -InputObject $printer -NewName DIYAR-PRINTER
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : PermissionDenied: (MSFT_Printer:ROOT/StandardCimv2/MSFT_Printer) [Rename-Printer], CimEx
   ception
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : HRESULT 0x80070005,Rename-Printer

    Yes I am running the powershell in admin mode. I have tried stopping the print spooler but will not allow me to rename it.

    ANy suggestions? Can this be done?

    You do mot have permission to rename the printer.  You must be an admin on the printers system (queue).
