Tip of the Day: Printing in a Cluster

Today’s tip…

In Windows Server 2012, we have an option available in Failover Cluster for monitoring a service inside a highly available VM. For example, print cluster is no longer supported in Win2012 cluster, instead we will configure Printing inside Highly Available VM and enable VM monitoring.

As such, we are no longer supporting the clustering of the spooler. The correct method would be to create a VM that acts as your print server, rather than just clustering the print spooler.
