Josh, Looks like you're in a dilly of a pickle (Sorry, favourite Ned Flanders quote).
My initial thoughts (for what they are worth - and I am happy to be corrected by the more learned ones out there) - You are asking for trouble introducing a new server with a different IP and trying to name it the same. Easier path (believe me) is to introduce new server gradually, and notify employees accordingly. However, it sounds like there are entries on the machine(s) you are using to connect to the server, or the entries in DNS/WINS (think about why are you needing to run both) that are conflicting. My advice would be to change the entries you made for server 1 to new IP BACK to new server name new IP. Distribute the names of the new print queues to users as UNC's, and when they click on them, whammo, they have to install them. Your thoughts? themolk. > -----Original Message----- > From: Morgan, Joshua [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, 20 June 2002 11:42 pm > To: NT 2000 Discussions > Subject: WINS and Changing servers > > > Here is the scenario We have/had a server Server-A that was > being used as a > print server, we wanted to be able to install a new server > add it to our AD > and Update the Wins and DNS Records so it looked like > Server-A was the new > server. > > So This is how it looks > Old Config Server-A IP 10.100.1.1 > New Config Server-B IP 10.100.1.2 > We update our Wins and DNS Records to show that the IP for Server-A is > 10.100.1.2 > Now when we try \\Server-A We get the message that there are > duplicate > Names on the network > If we try \\Server-A\Printer we get prompted for > credentials and cannot > get anything to work. > > The Original Server is off and even if we ad and Wins and DNS > record of a > server that never existed and point it to 10.100.1.2 we get > the same thing > > > Any ideas ? > > > > > > > Joshua Morgan > PROFITLAB > Senior Network Engineer > PH: (864) 250-1350 Ext 133 > Fax: (413) 581-4936 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://www.profit-lab.com > http://ncontrol.info > > The greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up > every time we > fall. > -- Confucius > > > ------ > You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp > To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% > ------ You are subscribed as [email protected] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
