Hi,

I need to migrate a Windows 2012 R2 print server from an old domain to a new one, the server will keep the same hostname.

can anybody help me to explain the steps I need to apply? I am not sure if I just need to export/import print queues.

Regards,

Abraham.

    Hello

    You can use Microsoft's print management console to back up your print server or migrate all print queues, drivers, and most ports to a new server.

    For specific steps, please refer to the following documents:

    If you Publish printers to AD, be sure to Unpublish the printers before retiring the old print server.
