I have exported the cab file from my old print server (Windows 2000
server)with no issue but when I am attempting to install the cab on the new
server (Windows 2003 Print Cluster instance) I am getting the following error
in the PM.log. As soon as I get this error Printmig.exe bombs out and I don't
get any other messages. Has anyone else seen this error? Thanks in advanced.

I did not restore to the Cluster name, I did it to the instance name. I have
already migrated one print server from our old cluster to the first instance
in the cluser and now I am working on taking the stand alone print server
that we had and migrating it into the second instance in the new print
cluster.

We have found the solution to the issue. Seems there was a registry key named
",2" that was listed as the first print queue in the registry that did not
really exist. Once we deleted the ",2" key out of the print queues area in
the registry we were able to do another printmig.exe export and than we
imported into the new Print Cluster with no issues.
