Current infrastructure is AD Windows Server 2008 R2
dedicated server as Print Server Windows Server 2003
workstations Windows 7
a. Task to migrate Print Server settings to a new dedicated server Print Server Windows 2008 R2.
To retrieve currents settings from server and move to a new Print Server, it could either be done
1. Power Shell
Export the settings to a file from 2003 Print Server and import then from file to 2008 Print Server.
2. Print Management features from Windows Server 2008 R2 to transfer the settings.
which method is more reliable or permissible?
b. The second, question is about the deployment of printers in the organization
Present time, No GP define to control or limit the amount of printers in the organization (65 and Plotter no accessible to any regular users.
c. Also no present means to schedule a task to monitor event id 4098 or any other event id associate with jam printers
About the second requirement I just could not persuade management to limit printers by department location.
So user will get all 65 printers to connect too. (Shared Network). Could this present a security breach?
In order to monitor printer problems, there should be one GPP at the Domain level and generate the task?
Can someone clarify the best course of actions for all three bullets?
