Hello together,
I have a problem, using the Printbrm.exe, for migrating 300 printers from a print server with the system "Windows Server 2008 R2", to a new print server with the system "Windows Server 2019".
To export the list with the important data, I used the command "printbrm –B –S Servername –f C:\file –nobin" on the server, that runs the system “Windows Server 2019”.
Yesterday, this worked perfectly.
But unfortunately, I realized, after exporting the list, that I have to delete some printers and update one driver, before I can migrate everything on the new server.
Today I wanted to export the file once again, because of the changes.
The export seems to run normal, until the last port was saved.
After that, an error occurred.
I am really sorry, but I don't have the error code at the moment.
There is one thread, answered from “Alan Morris” to the error code, but I cannot find it right now.
I just have the event ID "46" and the text of the error, that said "Printbrm.exe (the Printer Migration Wizard or the command-line tool) failed to place a file in cabinet (CAB) file C:\file while backing up print queues. Error reported: -----. This can occur if the user does not have permission to create a file in the destination location, or if there is insufficient disk space or system resources.”
I couldn’t find a solution, so I tested the export with a second print server, that also runs on the system “Windows Server 2019”.
The same error occurred.
I also changed the destination server to another print server with the system “Windows Server 2008 R2".
After I have done that, the export runs without any problem.
That means, that the problem has to be on that one old print server with the “Windows Server 2008 R2”-system.
To test this, I tried to export the data directly on this source server.
This should also be possible, as long, as I don’t import them.
To export the data, I entered the same command as the one above.
But then another error, with the code “0x80004005” occurred.
I don’t know how I should go on.
Maybe somebody can help me to fix the problem.
Yours sincerely,
SAM_NI
