Printer migration from windows 2003 32bit to windows 2008 R2 cluster setup

-

i working on print servers consolidation project have migrate couple of print servers (all windows 2003 32bit) newly built printer cluster windows 2008 r2.

i have more 500 + printers in each server need migrated, using below article backup , restore print queue using printbrm.exe , far provided me great success, facing issues in printer spool location configuration. 

i require spool location stay on (d:\spool) cluster drive, run printbrm -r -s \\servername -f printer.backup.export command, print spool location changes default location (c:\windows\system32\spool\printers) in event log

"printbrm.exe (the printer migration wizard or command-line tool) changed spooler folder to: c:\windows\system32\spool\printers. no user action required."

i see printbrm must setting spooler folder per source server not cluster server.

how prevent printbrm changing spool location?

you need correct spool directory after have completed restores.  can unpack printerexport file, modify brmspoolerattrib.xml, compress before restore.
