Re: Migrating Printers from 2000 Server

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



If the printer path is the same it should work. but if the old server is
still on the network and has the same you might not be alble to do it.

What you could do is just write a Windows Script using the network object to
remove the old printers and install the new ones. Then apply this as the
logon script you will also be able to set the default printer this way.

All,

Im trying to create a seamless printer migration from a Windows 2000
Server
to a Windows 2003 64 bit Storage server.

First off is this possible? to the extent that users wont notice anything
or
have to make any changes?

Ive been trying to use the Print Migration tool 3.1 but it doesnt seem to
work on the 2000 Server.

I have also added the windows 2000 server in under Print Management in the
2003 server in the "hope" that I could switch the printers that way but no
luck :/ (Wouldn't that be a very handy though if you could!!)

Has anyone else tried successfully to migrate printers without the users
knowing?

Thanks


.
