Decommission old Domain Controller


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello, I have an old Server 2003 domain controller that I want to replace

with a new machine.

 

This old server contains most of the AD printers that are used in the

company and I'd like to be able to move all of them to the new server

without having to manually recreate them all. I've seen the Microsoft Print

Migrator 3.1 but it looks quite old. Can anyone tell me the preferred (read

bullet proof) method of performing this AD printer migration to a new DC?

 

Thanks

Yes, that's that one I was talking about but I saw the 2004 date on it and

wondered if someone hadn't come up with a better mousetrap in the last 4

years.

 

Is this still the best method?

Still works great. I just used it to move printers form a W2K server to

a W2K03 server with minimal problems. I also use it to back up the

printers for Disaster Recovery....
