I need to migrate a *Print Server* (with 300+ print queues) from an A/A 32-bit
Windows Server 2003 Cluster to an A/P 64-bit Windows Server 2003 Cluster.
Since I'm going from a 32-bit version to a 64-bit version I understand that I
can't use the Printer Migration Wizard 3.1 :-(
Is there a Microsoft documented step-by-step process for doing this in a
programatic fashion?
What tools/scripts are availabe for either 1) migrating the print queues and
drivers, or
2) recreating them and installing the appropriate drivers on the (new) 64-bit
A/P Cluster? Clients are all WinXP 32-bit.
Can I copy the PrintBrm.exe app. from a Vista client to the W2K3 Cluster and
use that?
Just an FYI, I don't want to have to "touch" the clients (via logon script
or otherwise), so I'm going to use the same virtual server/queue name(s).
I've already verified in the lab how to accomplish that part (reusing the
same Virtual Server name(s)), I just need a way to either "migrate"
(export/import) the print queues and printer drivers from the 32-bit cluster
to the 64-bit cluster; or programatically re-create them on the 64-bit
cluster in such a way as to not have to "touch" the clients.
If this was a 32-bit to 32-bit migration, it would be a snap to do it with
the PMW 3.1.
:-(
Thanks for your help.
