RE: Changing Cluster IP Address

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi Donald,

You should review the following 2 articles regarding IP Address changes.
You should not have to re-create the Cluster and export/import the print
queues. But it would not be a bad idea to backup the printers using Print
Migrator tool (PrintMig).
