Dan, thanks for responding. &nbsp;I just did that this morning and everthing looks good so far except for when I use the add printer wizard &gt;&nbsp;Find a printer in the directory &gt;&nbsp;Find now - it populates 2 of each printer. &nbsp;Not sure why it is doing that when the old print server is turned off. &nbsp;Thanks

I have a windows 2000 member server as the print server and would like to replace it with a windows server 2003 as the new print server. &nbsp; Ideally I would like to keep the same name and IP on the new box as the old one. &nbsp;I have used to print migrator 3.1 to backup the old server and restored on the new box. &nbsp;What is the easiest and least disruptive way I can decommission the w2k box and have the w2k3 as the new print server? &nbsp;<br />
Thanks in advance.<br />

move from windows 2000 print server to windows 2003 print server

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
