Printer Server disaster recover on VMware
I am planning to create print server on VMware. We need to have a disaster recover plan. What is the best practice for this? Should we use clustering? How will the failover work? Thanks

I guess a hot clone could be done of the print server to another name but then you have the issue of what IP will it need in the DR siite.
To avoid these complications you could even script the export and import of printer configurations, DNS changes and registry import
Print migrator http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/techinfo/overview/printmigrator3.1.mspx
The registry changes can be made with the reg.exe command
DNS edit the DNS via the CLI util DNSCMD.exe http://www.windowsreference.com/dns/dnscmdexe-dns-server-command-line-utility-for-windows-dns/
