Clustering Print Server

[RicardoPereira]

Hi,

It's possible to set up a clustered print server on Windows 2003 Standard Edition ?

Thanks,
Ricardo

How are you going to cluster with Standard Edition? If you need Enterprise Edition for clustering, then it seems pretty clear to me the answer is "no".

I'm sure there are some load balancing and third party failover options, though.

For me, it seems to be pretty clear to. But i read a microsoft article that says that it's possible to setup a clustered print server on Microsoft Windows Enterprise Edition. (

They also say that: The configuration steps in Microsoft Windows Server 2003 differ from those in Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0, Enterprise Edition, Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server, and Microsoft Windows 2000 Datacenter Server.
