If a node has both groups on it then all the resources (shares) can be viewed from one node.<br />
The only way to do this host one pserver on one node and the other one on the second node.<br />
<br />
Use the preferred node feature to keep the groups on their respective nodes and failback to move them back if they happen to be on the same node, say after an outage.

Hi there,<br />
<br />
The issue is we currently have more print groups then nodes. Does this mean this problem is unsolvable?

Hi guys,<br />
<br />
I've setup a print cluster with multiple nodes and multiple print resource groups to devide the load.<br />
<br />
Now I have problem with the shared printer names that show up in eachothers Cluster Network Name.<br />
<br />
For example:<br />
<br />
I have 6 printer groups with networks names pserver1 till pserver 6.<br />
<br />
If resource group pserver1 and pserver2 are hosted on Node1, and I access sharename \\pserver1\, I will also see the printers that are installed on pserver2.<br />
<br />
This causes a lot of confusion for the administrator who need to maintain and configure these printers within our enviroment.<br />
<br />
Is there any way possible to block visibility from other print groups when u access a specific network name?<br />
<br />
Thank you so much!

Microsoft Print Cluster: Multiple Print Groups how to block sharenames

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).

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.
