hello

can anybody say how long does it takes to switch approx. 500 queues? in w2k
the switching for 40 queues lasts 2 hours...

thanks
rolf
 
Did a switch over this morning with about 200 printers.
Took about 5 minutes, but the time I believe depends on
the number of new drivers that have to be synchronized
between the nodes. It is recommended to move the group
around to the various nodes after installing a bunch of
new drivers to reduce failover time in the event of
a 'real' failure.
 
I have a Server 20003 with 600 printers. The failover took less than 3
minutes. The driver sync will only happen on Server 2003 since this feature
was not implemented in Win2k.

Which port monitors are you using?
