Migrate the five roles between domain controllers and forcing in case of failure

To migrate roles between different domain controllers, for example from a Windows 2000 to a Windows 2003, or a Windows 2003 to another 2003… or simply to distribute the load among the DCs. It doesn't matter in which the process is carried out. It can be done in two ways, Mediate GUI, or by commands. And there is a third way that would be aggressive in case the Active Directory does not work correctly and we must force the transfer of the functions – HERE.

Migrate a print server from Windows NT to Windows 2000 o Windows 2003

This procedure is like data migration, instead of moving data, Printers are moved with two other Microsoft tools, PRINTMIG (HERE) and FIXPRNSV (is on the MS Windows CD 2003, If you can't look for it, download it, but it's 14Mb! HERE). It does the same as the previous one, copies NT4-based server drivers (SERVERNT) to Windows-based server 2003 (SERVER02) and shares them with the same name they had before.

Cómo migrar las impresoras en los PC's clientes

This procedure explains how to update client printers when they are migrated from one server to another. For example, if we migrate all printers from one server to another, you would have to go PC by PC changing the PATH of the source printer, por ejemplo de servidorORIGENimpresora1 a servidorDESTINOimpresora1. Pues se crearía un script y lo pondría en el inicio de los PC’s o en la SYSVOL, o de la forma que interese, pero lo deberían de ejecutar los PC’s clientes de la forma que sea.
