Moving the role of File/Print Server to New Win2k3 Box !!!!!!

Tutorials Win: Microsoft Windows Forum

Hi!

Can anybody give step-by-step on how to move the role of a Print/File
Server from one Windows Server 2003 box to another ?

I basically have 3 Server in our office

1) DCSRV01 - Win2k3 Domain Controller
2) EXSRV01 - Exchange - 2003 ( Additional DC)
3) FPSRV01 - Win2k3 - File and Print Server

I will be setting up a new Storage Server and wish to transfer the role of
FPSRV01 to the new Storage Server with less or no changes being done on the
Client computers.

Pl suggest
Thank you
Harry

Hello Harry,

Printmigrator form MS and xxcopy or robocopy for copying the files including
the security permissions.

You have to check about the mappings you create for the users to the network
shares, that a new servername is in use.
