Guest Bazooka-Joe Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 I'm trying to migrate a clustered print spooler resource to another cluster. Having trouble. I'm using PRINTMIG.EXE (version 3.1) exactly the way I think I'm supposed to. Here's my script: printmig.exe -r "d:\printmig\source.cab" \\newspooler I've tried it with FQDN's and without. I've tried a couple different versions of printmig.exe now too. The "source.cab" file was backed up from an existing clustered print spooler last night. It's big (200+MB). I've tried the .cab file being stored on a file server as well as on a local partition of the guest node currently housing the clustered spooler resource. I've also running the script from the cluster node currently housing the clustered spooler resource as well as from an external executor (such as my desktop). Both the 'source' cluster and the 'destination' cluster are identical in every way except name and IP of course. The resources are identical, the OS, SP, patch level, etc. I get no errors. The .cab file appears to enumerate just fine, but no drivers, ports or queues are ever created on the destination spooler resource. Any help would be greatly apprecaited. Thanks!

BUT, oddly enough, I was ONLY able to get it to work with version 3.0 of printmig.exe. Version 3.1 would NOT comply. I do not know why. I have not tried re- downloading 3.1 and attempting it again. I could've been using a corrupt .exe file or something. Thanks! :Bazooka-Joe
