MIgrate to Windows 2008 "Bad Beagle" <maxwelli[ at ]nospam.postalias> 12/17/2008 8:42:17 PM I have 2 separate windows 2003 print servers that I would like to put on new hardware and make them 2008 servers. I would then like to cluster them. What tools can I use to migrate the printers? What happens to all the workstations that have the printers installed by server name? Will I have to keep a dns name for the old server?
