Syntax

Add-ClusterPrintServerRole [-InputObject <psobject>] [[-Name] <string>] [-Cluster <string>] [-IgnoreNetwork <StringCollection>] [-StaticAddress <StringCollection>] [-Storage <StringCollection>] [-Wait <int>] [<CommonParameters>]

  • InputObject

  • Name

  • Cluster

  • IgnoreNetwork

  • StaticAddress

  • Storage

  • Wait

Detailed Description

When adding a clustered print server, specify a name for the print server, any IP address information that is not automatically supplied by your DHCP settings, and the storage volume or volumes that the clustered print server should use for print job information and printer drivers.
