Guest MrSpace Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 I have exported the cab file from my old print server (Windows 2000 server)with no issue but when I am attempting to install the cab on the new server (Windows 2003 Print Cluster instance) I am getting the following error in the PM.log. As soon as I get this error Printmig.exe bombs out and I don't get any other messages. Has anyone else seen this error?

Guest MrSpace Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 Re: Printmig.exe 3.1 error... I did not restore to the Cluster name, I did it to the instance name. I have already migrated one print server from our old cluster to the first instance in the cluser and now I am working on taking the stand alone print server that we had and migrating it into the second instance in the new print cluster.

Guest MrSpace Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 Re: Printmig.exe 3.1 error... We have found the solution to the issue. Seems there was a registry key named ",2" that was listed as the first print queue in the registry that did not really exist. Once we deleted the ",2" key out of the print queues area in the registry we were able to do another printmig.exe export and than we imported into the new Print Cluster with no issues.
