BTW : My print DNS entry is on the local domain ,rather than the root. Although I believe it would work either way on the farm,I had to move it from the root because the Windows 2000 work stations would have to have the DNS suffix added or FQDN. -----Original Message----- From: Joanne Determann Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2004 7:32 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Backup printserver/Importing printserver with DNS name Yes it is possible. We have the same setup and wanted failover. Months ago I imported my DNS print name into the farm and everything runs fine. -----Original Message----- From: Lennart Koschella [mailto:lk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2004 7:15 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Backup printserver/Importing printserver with DNS name Hello! Is it possible to import a Windows printserver with its DNS name into a MFXP server farm? We would like to do this because we want to setup a failover solution for this printserver in case of hardware failure. So far, I only succeeded in importing this printserver via Netbios name or IP address, but if I use the DNS name, I get an error c0130001/c0130003 ("The specified Network Print Server could not be contacted"). Is there another failover solution for printservers in a Citrix environment (besides Windows clustering or a standby machine which will take over the production server's Netbios name)?
